Question

why parallel wires attract and opposite wires repel​

Answer 1

ⒶⓃⓈⓌⒺⓇ

Parallel wires carrying currents will exert forces on each other. One wire sets up a magnetic field that influences the other wire, and vice versa. When the current goes the same way in the two wires, the force is attractive. When the currents go opposite ways, the force is repulsive.
