Dont think so.

The Attempt at a Solution


I get D, the answer is D. I think it is D because only half a magnetic wave would appear on the inside of the wires as it is a sine wave. If you have more information on answering the question, please help me out.

Hello Eliza, :welcome:

Is there anything you've learned about forces between current carrying wires ? If so, please mention the relevant equations under 2.

If there is anything you've learned about magnetic waves "appearing on a particular side of the wires", I would be very interested too.

Oh, and please read the guidelines
