Two long, parallel wires carry currents of different magnitudes. If the amount of current in one of the wires is doubled, what happens to the magnitude of the force that each wire exerts on the other

The magnitude of the force that each wire exerts on the other will increase by a factor of two.

Explanation:

force on parallel current carrying wire, F = BILsinθ

where;

B is the strength of the magnetic field

L is the length of the wire

I is the magnitude of current on the wire

θ is the angle of inclination of the wire

Assuming B, L and θ is constant, then F ∝ I

F = kI

When the amount of current is doubled in one of the wires, lets say the second wire;

Also, if will double the amount of current on the first wire, then

F₁ = 2F₂

Therefore, the magnitude of the force that each wire exerts on the other will increase by a factor of two.

the aurora is formed when charged particles emitted from the sun during a solar flare penetrate the earth's magnetic shield and collide with atoms and molecules in our atmosphere. these collisions result in countless little bursts of light, called photons, which make up the aurora.

auroras are generated by charged solar particles hitting molecules in earth's atmosphere. this usually happens in high latitudes, because our planet’s magnetic field tends to funnel these particles toward the poles. that’s why it can be experienced in northern ohio.
