Determine is the force attractive or repulsive

Reference no: EM13496504

The wires in a household lamp cord are typically 3.0 mm apart center to center and carry equal currents in opposite directions.

If the cord carries current to a 100-W light bulb connected across a 120-V potential difference, what force per meter does each wire of the cord exert on the other? (Model the lamp cord as a very long straight wire.)

Is the force attractive or repulsive?

Is this force large enough so it should be considered in the design of lamp cord?
