When currents in wires run parallel, the wires attract due to the magnetic fields from the currents and the Lorentz force. The currents can also be run anti-parallel, making the wires repel. Place the ...

IN NATURE of January 30, 1908, some results were quoted by me with reference to the effective inductance of two long parallel wires when the change of current distribution due to frequency is taken ...

Ampère was playing with wires when he discovered a fundamental law of electromagnetism. Hans Christian Oersted had just discovered the connection between electricity and magnetism. Meanwhile, a French ...
