Two circular loops are parallel

Two circular loops are parallel, coaxial, and almost in contact, 1.00 mm apart (Fig. P30.59). Each loop is 10.0 cm in radius. The top loop carries a clockwise current of 140 A. The bottom loop carries a counterclockwise current of 140 A.
(a) Calculate the magnetic force exerted by the bottom loop on the top loop.
(b) The upper loop has a mass of 0.021 0 kg. Calculate its acceleration, assuming that the only forces acting on it are the force in part (a) and the gravitational force. Suggestion: Think about how one loop looks to a bug perched on the other loop.
