An electric stove's heaters dissipate 5\text{ kW} when connected to a 110\text{ V} d.c. source.

Redraw Figure 7 and add to your drawing a rough sketch of the magnetic field of the current in Conductor A. Indicate by an arrow on the diagram, the direction of the force experienced by Conductor B due to the magnetic field of the current in A.
