Fig. shows the card viewed from above. l— wire inhole There is a current in each wire in a downward direction (into the page). (i) The magnetic field at ¥ due to the current in X produces a force on Y.

Depends on the direction of the current of wire at Y, the wires could repel or attract to each other. ifthe current of wire at ¥ is going downwards, the wires would attract each other. ifthe current of wire at Y is going upwards, the wires would repel each other.

And if strength decreases, the strength of the magnetic field will also decrease because strength of current effects strength of magnetic field (©) Ina laboratory vacuum chamber, some current-carrying coils produce a very strong magnetic field near a source af «-particles, Fig _ shows the arrangement. x x uniform magnetic exparticle x xT fie into source fy a ew 4 Pane path of
