Two parallel wires $1 \text{ m}$ apart carry currents of $1 \text{ A}$ and $3 \text{ A}$ respectively in opposite directions. The force per unit length acting between these two wires is

Obtain the expression for the force between two parallel current-carrying wires.

$A$ horizontal wire carries $160 \ A$ current. Below it, another wire with a linear mass density of $10 \ g \ m^{-1}$ is kept at a distance of $4 \ cm$. If the lower wire hangs in the air, what is the current in this wire when the direction of current in both wires is the same (in $A$)? $(g=10 \ m \ s^{-2} \text{ and } \mu_0=4 \pi \times 10^{-7} \ T \ m \ A^{-1})$

In the given diagram, the loop tends to:

An infinitely long,straight conductor $AB$ is fixed and a current $i_1$ is passed through it. Another movable straight wire $CD$ of finite length carrying current $i_2$ is held perpendicular to it and released. Neglect the weight of the wire.
