Q24:Two long wires hang vertically. Wire 1 carries an upward current of A. Wire 2, 20.0 cm to the right of wire 1, carries a downward current of A. A third wire, wire 3, is to be hung vertically and located such that when it carries a certain current, each wire experi- ences no net force.
(a) Is this situation possible? Is it possible in more than one way? Describe
(b) the posi- tion of wire 3 and
(c) the magnitude and direction of the current in wire 3.
