Re: Physics QOTD

They should attract with a force equal to (u0*L*ia*ib)/(2*pi*d). If L is a length vector in the direction of current flow, there must be a perpendicular B vector which means L cross B results in a force that is also perpendicular with the wire. Is that right? PHYS241 was not one of my favorites.
