If two wires run parallel and the current passes through both wires in the same direction, which happens to the wires?
a. the wires move together because the magnetic field of each wire attracts the other wire.
b. the wires move apart because the magnetic fields of each wire are opposite, so they repel each other.
c. the wires move together because the current of one wire pulls the other wire closer.

If two wires run parallel and the current passes through both wires in the same direction, which happens to the wires?

If two wires run parallel and the current passes through both wires in the same direction, the wires wires move together because the current of one wire pulls the other wire closer. The answer is letter C. 

a solenoid is created by wrapping a l = 90 m long wire around a hollow tube of diameter d = 4.5 cm.   the wire diameter is d = 0.9 mm.   the solenoid wire is then connected to a power supply so that a current of i = 9 a flows through the wire.

randomized variablesl = 90 m

d = 4.5 cm

d = 0.9 mm

i = 9 a                                          

write an expression for the number of turns, n, in the solenoid. you do not need to take into account the diameter of the wire in this calculation.

calculate the number of turns, n, in the solenoid.

write an expression for the length of the solenoid (l2) in terms of the diameter of the hollow tube d.

calculate the length of the solenoid (l2)   in meters.

calculate the magnitude of the magnetic field at the center of the solenoid in teslas.
