Is like currents of opposite charge attract or repel each other?

AI Thread Summary
Parallel currents attract each other, regardless of the charge carriers involved. This attraction occurs even when the currents are of opposite charge. It's important to note that the direction of the current is opposite to the motion of a negative charge. Conventional current is defined as the flow of charge from a positive source to a negative source. Understanding these principles is crucial for grasping the behavior of electrical currents.

To clarify what you stated, conventional current is the flow of charge from a positive lead/source to a negative lead/source.
 
Thread 'Motional EMF in Faraday disc, co-rotating magnet axial mean flux'
So here is the motional EMF formula. Now I understand the standard Faraday paradox that an axis symmetric field source (like a speaker motor ring magnet) has a magnetic field that is frame invariant under rotation around axis of symmetry. The field is static whether you rotate the magnet or not. So far so good. What puzzles me is this , there is a term average magnetic flux or "azimuthal mean" , this term describes the average magnetic field through the area swept by the rotating Faraday...
