Do two electrons traveling in two unshielded "parallel" wires in "close
distance" but in OPPOSITE direction...have magnetic fields (since the
polarities are reveresed due to spin and right/left hand rules) that
cause attraction between both wires (therefore if very close the wires
would bend towards each other)??
Yes. A charged particle moving in a magnetic field will experience a
force normal to the plane defined by the magnetic field and its
velocity vector. Same applies to currents. One current is the source
of the magnetic field that attracts the other current.
Can the magnetic attraction of these fields in the wire be stronger
then the electron's repulsive charge (if so what causes the magnetic
field to get larger)?
A charged particle also experience a force in the direction of an
electric field, if there is one present. The force due to both fields
is known as the Lorentz force.
So F= qE x qvB
Can the magnetic force ever be bigger then the repulsive force of two
electrons, if so how/when?
(Two electrons flowing in two close unshielded parallel wires and in
opposite direction so that there magnetic fields causes attraction but
as well there is there repulsive charge force)
