Two long and parallel straight wires $A$ and $B$ carrying currents of $8.0 \; A$ and $5.0 \; A$ in the same direction are separated by a distance of $4.0 \; cm$. Estimate the force on a $10 \; cm$ section of wire $A$.

  • A
    $8 \times 10^{-5} \; N$
  • B
    $7 \times 10^{-5} \; N$
  • C
    $5 \times 10^{-5} \; N$
  • D
    $2 \times 10^{-5} \; N$
