The figure shows three long, parallel, current-carrying wires. The current directions are indicated for currents I₁ and I₃. The arrow labeled F represents the net magnetic force acting on current I₃. The three currents have equal magnitudes. What is the direction of the current I₂? A) into the picture (in the direction opposite to that of I₁ and I₃) B) horizontal to the right C) vertically upward D) vertically downward E) out of the picture (in the same direction as I₁ and I₃)
