Three long parallel wires, lie perpendicular to this page, as shown in the figure, and carry the same current intensity I = 2 A. The current along the wire A is going into the page. The current along the wire B is also going into the page. The current along the wire C is coming out of the page. Knowing that d = 1 cm, find the direction and magnitude of the net force per unit length acting on the wire B. (Force per unit length just means divide the force by the length.) d 2d C
