Two circular loops of wire, each containing a single turn, have the same radius of 5.10 cm and a common center. The planes of th
e loops are perpendicular. Each carries a current of 2.20 A. What is the magnitude of the net magnetic field at the common center?

Answer:
a) force between them is attraction, b) F = 1.125 10⁻² N
Explanation:
In this case the electric force is given by Coulomb's law
F =
In the exercise they give us the values of the loads
q1 = - 10 mC = -10 10⁻³ C
q2 = 5 mC = 5 10⁻³ C
d = 20 cm = 0.20 m
let's calculate
F = 9 10⁹
F = 1.125 10⁻² N
To find the direction of the force we use that charges of the same sign repel each other, as in this case there is a positive and a negative charge, the force between them is attraction
