To solve the problem of where to place a third current so that it experiences no magnetic force due to two parallel wires carrying currents, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Configuration**: - We have two parallel wires separated by a distance of 10 cm. - Wire 1 carries a current \( I_1 = 10 \, \text{A} \) and Wire 2 carries a current \( I_2 = 40 \, \text{A} \). - We need to find the position of a third wire (let's denote the current in the third wire as \( I_3 \)) such that it experiences no net magnetic force. ...
