How would you orient two long, straight, current carrying wires so that there is no net magnetic force between them? (Hint: What orientation would lead to one wire not experiencing a magnetic field from the other?)
Two long wires, one of which has a semicircular tend of radius R, are positioned as shown in the accompanying figure. If both wires carry a current I, how far apart must then parallel sections be so that the net magnetic field at P is zero? Does the current in the straight wire flow up or down?
