Problem

12\,\text{V}

battery with negligible internal resistance is connected to a circuit containing two parallel wires of resistance

R_{1} = 2\,\Omega

and

R_{2} = 3\,\Omega

connected in parallel. The wires are

5\,\text{cm}

apart and

2\,\text{m}

long. Calculate the force between these two wires.
