Two 27 cm wires carry current to and from a piece of research equipment. Because of the nature of the experiment they cannot be insulated, and are located only 1.78 mm apart. A force of 3.29 mN on one of the wires will put too much strain on it. How much current can you put through the wires, in amperes? Will the force be attractive or repulsive? (Answer to yourself.
