The figure below shows wire 1 in cross section; the wire is longand straight, carries a current of 4.40 mA out of the page, and isat distance d1 = 2.40 cm from a surface. Wire 2, which is parallelto wire 1 and also long, is at horizontal distance d2 = 4.80 cmfrom wire 1 and carries a current of 6.80 mA into the page. What isthe x component of the magnetic force per unit length on wire 2 dueto the current in wire 1?
