Two parallel wires carrying currents can repel each other, if the currents flow in the opposite direction. What would happen to a magnet or magnetic compass, if brought to close to the magnetic field of the first current, and then the second current? What direction would it point to/or which part of the magnet, north or south, would be attracted/repelled by the magnetic fields of the currents?
a) The magnetic needle point towards north when close to "wire A", and when close to "wire B" the magnetic needle points to south.
b) nothing happens.
c) The magnet gets deflected by the magnetic field, in both cases.
d) Another answer.
So, I couldn't do this experment at home. But do anybody know for sure what happens?
Thank you
