Answer:

Force on each conductors = 4x10^-3 N

The force between the wires are attractive so the direction of this force is towards each other

Answer:

The magnitude and direction of the force is 0.09 N, attractive

Explanation:

The magnitude of the force is:

[tex]F=\frac{u_{o}I_{1}I_{2}L_{2} }{2\pi d}[/tex]

Where

d = distance = 4 cm = 0.04 m

uo = constant = 4πx10⁻⁷Tm/A

I₁ = 30 A

I₂ = 30 A

L = 20 m

Replacing:

[tex]F=\frac{4\pi x10^{-7}*30*30*20 }{2\pi *0.04} =0.09N[/tex] attractive
