Figure (a) shows, in cross-section, three current-carrying wires that are long, straight, and parallel to one another. Wires 1 and 2 are fixed in place on an x axis, with separation d . Wire 1 has a current of 0.750 A, but the direction of the current is not given. Wire 3, with a current of 0.250 A out of the page, can be moved along the x axis to the right of wire  2 . As wire 3 is moved, the magnitude of the net magnetic force F2 on wire 2 due to the currents in wires 1 and 3 changes. The  x component of that force is  F2x and the value per unit length of wire 2 F2xL2 is Figure (b)gives F2xL2 versus the position x of wire  3 . The plot has an asymptoteF2xL2=-0.627 μN m-1 as x. The horizontal scale is set by xs=24.0 cm. What are the
(a) size and
(b) direction (into or out of the page) of the current in wire  2 ?
