Find I2 so that the magnetic force per unit length on each wire is zero. The three parallel wires are equally spaced. Current directions are shown with '<' or '>'.
I1 = I3 = 1 A
< I1 < I1 < I1
---------------
> I2 > I2 > I2
---------------
< I3 < I3 < I3
---------------
I have the formula F = (mu0*I*I')/(2*pi*r) with mu0 = 4*pi*10^-7 but have no clue where to take this to figure out I2 with the 3 wires.
Sorry if this is really easy but I'm not too quick with Physics. Thanks for any help.
