Can anyone help me understand why two coaxial solenoids separated by a distance x, with current flowing in the same direction in each solenoid, would be attracted to each other using the right hand rule?
Im sure they would be attracted to one another (with the current flowing in the same direction, the poles are arranged N-S / N-S), but when i try to use the right hand rule I end up saying that there would be a repulsive force.
Anybody know where I'm going wrong?
Any help appreciated
