Two long wires hang vertically. Wire 1 carries an upward current of 1.80 A. Wire 2, 20.0 cm to the right of wire 1, carries a downward current of 4.00 A. A third wire, wire 3, is to be hung vertically and located such that when it carries a certain current, each wire experiences no net force. (a) Is this situation possible?
Is it possible in more than one way?
