To solve the problem, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Given Data We have two long parallel wires A and B carrying currents \( I_1 = 8 \, \text{A} \) and \( I_2 = 5 \, \text{A} \) respectively. The distance between the wires is \( R = 4 \, \text{cm} = 0.04 \, \text{m} \). We need to find the force on a \( 10 \, \text{cm} \) section of wire A. ### Step 2: Formula for Force Between Parallel Wires The force per unit length \( F/L \) between two parallel wires carrying currents can be calculated using the formula: \[ ...
