Two long, parallel, current-carrying wires lie in an xy-plane. The first wire lies on the line y = 0.310 m and carries a current of 26.5 A in the +x direction. The second wire lies along the x-axis. The wires exert attractive forces on each other, and the force per unit length on each wire is 285 μN/m. What is the y-value (in m ) of the line in the xy-plane where the total magnetic field is zero? m

An arbitrarily curved wire that carries a current between two endpoints in the presence of a uniform magnetic field will experience the same net magnetic force as a straight wire carrying the same current between the same endpoints. Essentially, any forces experienced by parts of the wire that curve or twist away from the straight-line path are canceled out by forces on sections that curve back toward the original path. Furthermore, if the wire forms a closed loop in between the endpoints, the net force on the closed loop is zero. Using this result, consider a town where the Earth's magnetic field has a magnitude of 51.3 μT. The magnetic field vector lies in a vertical plane defined by the north-south and up-down axes, and it points 60.0∘ below the northward direction. In this town, a storefront window lies along the north-south vertical plane, and in the window is a neon sign (which is a thin current-carrying discharge tube). The sign carries a 35.1 mA current, starting from the lower south corner of the window, and ending at the opposite corner, which is 1.32 m to the north and 0.850 m upward. The sign spells out the word "BURGERS" between the two points. What is the net vector magnetic force (in μN ) on the neon sign? (Take east to be the +x-axis, up to be the +y-axis, and south to be the +z-axis. Do not include units in your answer.) F→B = μN

Three long wires all lie in an xy plane parallel to the x axis. They intersect the y axis at the origin, y = d, and y = 2d, where d = 13 cm. The two outer wires each carry a current of 6.4 A in the positive x direction. What is the magnitude of the force on a 4.9 m section of either of the outer wires if the current in the center wire is 3.5 A (a) in the positive x direction and (b) in the negative x direction?
