This is a discussion question from "University Physics" (Sears and
Zemansky):
"Two parallel conductors carrying current in the same direction
attract each other. If they are permitted to move toward each other,
the forces of attraction do work. From where does the energy come?
Does this contradict the assertion that magnetic forces on moving
charges do no work?"
