This question was on my homework and I don't really understand how it has to do with magnetic fields.
As 2 parallel conductors with currents in the same direction are moved apart, their force of
A) repulsion decreases
B)Repulsion increases
C) attraction decreases
D) Attraction increases
They will attract b/c I used the right hand rule and the 2 forces coming from both conductors are pointing towards the other. And I think it will decrease b/c the force of mag fields depends on magnetic field and the farther away the weaker so if magnetic field decreases then Force will decrease. So I think the answer is C. Not sure if its right.
