Figured out my problem, I was using the wrong equation. F/L = u0*I1*I2/(2*pi*r) Solving gives: I = (F/L)*2*pi*r/(u0*I1) I = 87.5A Hope I didn't waste anyone's time and hopefully someone can learn from my mistakes!

Homework Statement 1.A long, thick (cylindrical, solid) wire of radius 3 mm carries a total current of I1 = 100A that is uniformly distributed over its cross-sectional area. The current is in the +z direction. A second, thin wire runs parallel to the axis of the thick wire and is located at a...
