We now begin to consider how things changewhen charges are simple apparatus demonstrates that something wierd happens when charges are inmotion: If we run currents next to one another in parallel, wefind that they areattractedwhen the currents run in the same direction; they arerepulsedwhen the currents run inopposite directions.
