Parallel wires carrying current produce significant magnetic fields, which in turn produce significant forces on currents.
This implies that the trajectory in a uniform magnetic field is a circle in the plane transverse to the. A magnetic field is a vector field, denoted by b, which points from a magnets north pole to its south pole outside the magnet the force on a charged particle moving in a magnetic field is proportional to the particles charge and velocity as well as the magnetic field strength. Magnetic fields are produced by electric currents, which can be macroscopic currents in wires, or microscopic currents associated with electrons in atomic orbits. You can select from a number of fields and see how particles move in the field if it is treated as either a velocity field where the particles move along the field lines or an actual force field where the particles move as if they were little magnets.
