Show hintHide hint
Think about how you hold your right hand.
Question 2.
If two parallel currents flow in the same direction, what happens?
Show hintHide hint
Consider how magnets work.
3Question 3.
What happens when two parallel conductors carrying the same direction of current?
- They repel each other
- They attract each other
- No interaction occurs
Show hintHide hint
Think about how opposites attract in magnets.
4Question 4.
