Solution
Beams of electrons and protons move parallel to each other in the same direction. They repel each other.
Explanation:
The direction of the current is determined by the flow of the positive charge. As a result of the opposing currents here, they will resist one other.

Two infinitely long straight parallel wires, '1' and '2', carrying steady currents I1 and I2 in the same direction are separated by a distance d. Obtain the expression for the magnetic field `vecB`due to the wire '1' acting on wire '2'. Hence find out, with the help of a suitable diagram, the magnitude and direction of this force per unit length on wire '2' due to wire '1'. How does the nature of this force changes if the currents are in opposite direction? Use this expression to define the S.I. unit of current.
