Force Between Parallel Currents
Students will understand the force between two parallel current-carrying conductors and define the Ampere.
Key Questions
- Explain why two parallel currents in the same direction attract each other.
- Analyze how the force between two parallel wires changes with distance and current magnitude.
- Evaluate the importance of this force in defining the SI unit of current, the Ampere.
