Two long and parallel straight wires A and B carrying currents of 10.0 A and 4.0 A in the same direction are separated by a distance of 4.0 cm. Estimate the force on a 10 cm section of wire A. |
Answer» Solution : Situation given in the STATEMENT is shown in above diagram. Here, MAGNETIC force exerted on L length of first wire is, `F=(mu_(0)I_(1)I_(2)l)/(2piy)` `thereforeF=((4pixx10^(-7))(8)(5)(0.1))/((2pi)(0.04))` `thereforeF=2xx10^(-5)N` (Direction : towards wire B, attractive in nature) |
