| Based on the above calculations, the maximum magnetic force acting on each wire for a 4.5 A current is ___. Using the right-hand rule, or checking the signs of the calculated forces, you'll find that the wires attract each other when the current goes in the same direction, and the wires will repel each other when the current goes in opposite directions. | Based on the above calculations, the maximum magnetic force acting on each wire for a 4.5 A current is ___.
