Two parallel wires \( 0.1 \, \text{m} \) apart carry \( 8 \, \text{A} \) and \( 6 \, \text{A} \) in the same direction.
**Lorentz force** on charge q moving with velocity v in magnetic field B is F = q v × B, magnitude F = q v B sinθ, θ angle between v and B (degrees), unit N. Direction perpendicular to both v and B via right-hand rule. When v ⊥ B, motion circular with radius r = m v/(q B), centripetal force provided by magnetic force. f = (μ₀ I₁ I₂/2 π d) . f = (4 π × 10⁻⁷ × 8 × 6/2 π × 0.1) = (192 × 10⁻⁷/0.2) = 9.6 × 10⁻⁵ N/m . Using F = q v B sinθ, F =
