Answer the following.

A finite-length Movable wire (XY) carrying current $i_1$ is kept parallel to another infinite-length Fixed wire (PQ) carrying current $i_2$ above it. In this setup, the Movable wire (XY) is stationary as depicted below. Redraw a new setup such that the Movable wire (XY) remains stationary and is placed parallel below the Fixed wire (PQ) carrying current $i_2$. Label the direction of current $i_1$ in the Movable wire (XY).
