| Feb 21 at 7:58 | comment | added | Jos Bergervoet | Probably 3D is meant so the wires can be infinite and not parallel. Writing down the double integral over the two wires to find the force will be a bit challenging, finding out whether it has a closed-form result would have been the other interesting task in the old days, but nowadays it is of course a matter of "try the engine". | |
