Two parallel wires carry currents in the same direction and exert a force on each of magnitude F for each meter of length. One of the currents is now reversed in direction and doubled in magnitude. What are the resulting magnitude for the force per meter of length and its direction relative to the wires?

1.2F, attractive
2.2F, repulsive
3.4F, attractive
4.4F, repulsive

One of the first atomic bombs released energy equivalent to that of 20,000 tons of TNT explosive

How much mass was converted to energy by this explosion, given that 1000 tons of TNT produce 4.3 × 1012 J of energy. Incidentally, modern H-bombs have energy yields 1000 times as much! (c = 3.0 × 108 m/s)
