Two very long straight, particle wires carry steady currents i and – i respectively. The distance between the wires is d. At a certain instant of time, a point charge q is at a point equidistant from the two wires, in the plane of the wires. It's instantaneous velocity
is perpendicular to this plane. The magnitude of the force due to the magnetic field acting on the charge at this instant is
