Physics

Suppose two parallel lines of current are 0.85A and 0.35A in thesame direction, with the centers of their wires 21cm apart. A-2.04nC particle is fired at 3500m/s in the same direction as bothlines of current exactly in between the lines of current.


a. Find the force that acts on the particle and in whichdirection. If a coordinate system will help, you may assume thecurrents and particle are in the +x direction and the currents liein the xy plane.


b. Find the elctric field, magnitude, and direction that wouldallow the particle to continue to move parallel to the wires.


Thanks in advance! :) Please show all work!
