Two parallel straight conductors 5 m long and 12 cm apart are to have equal currents. The force each conductor experiences from the other is not to exceed 2x10^-2 N. What is the maximum possible current in each conductor?
I'm getting a ridiculous answer of 1200 A. I'm doing
2x10^-2=((4pix10^-7)(2I)(5))/(2pi.12)

It was supposed to be I^2 not 2I
