0.0047N repulsive

but since they're asking for each wire
it would be half of that force

1.87e-5N, sound correct?
Straight application of Amperes Law

Not half the force as they are a Newton's third law pair.

yep, you're right... (first time i did i messed up cancelling out the 2x2 amps with the 2E7)

F/L=(I1xI2x2E-7)/d

F= (2E-7x4x.35)/0.015

= 1.87x10^-5

It's faraday's experiment i think, i don't know how you would do it in words but the formula way is described above (serge).

by the part saying direction is up? wouldn;t it be to the right for the right wire and left for the left wire since there is repulsion as the current is going in opposite directions for the two straight part of the wire, and the force experienced by each wire is the same.

oh and by refering to 2E-7, does that mean "k"? like 2 x 10 to the -7?
