Magnetostatic Examples - Parallel Wires Carrying Current in Same Direction
Konrad Walus, University of British Columbia
This simulation calculates the magnetic field intensity around two parallel wires both carrying current in the same direction. Notice that the magnetic field outside the wires adds up while the magnetic field between the wires cancels. The force acting upon the wires can be found using Lorentz force, which predicts that the wires will be attracted to each other.
Model developed by Dr. Konrad Walus and Carl Tan
