Basically there is a cardboard with a small hole for a wire and a large circular hole for another wire. Two wires, one rigid is passed through the small hole and another flexible wire is passed through the large circular hole. A battery is connected to both ends of both wires so that the current flows down in both wires. Then, it asks me in what direction will the flexible wire (in the large circular hole) will move to.
I thought that, since the current is flowing down (in the same direction) in both wires then they would repel each other. But the marking scheme says that the flexible wires moves towards the thick rigid wire.
Could anyone tell me why please?
Thanks,
Peter
P.S (First time using this forum, so I'm not sure if my description of the problem is clear and adequate)
