Question 2 Two long parallel wires that are 0.30 m apart carry currents of 5.0 A and 8.0 A in the opposite direction. Find the magnitude of the force per unit length that each wire exerts on the other wire and indicate if the force is attractive or repulsive. (Ho = 4mt × 10-7 T - m/A)
Added by Daniel D.
Step 1
Given: - \( I_1 = 5.0 \, \text{A} \) - \( I_2 = 8.0 \, \text{A} \) - \( d = 0.30 \, \text{m} \) Let's calculate the force per unit length step by step. Show more…

Two long, parallel wires separated by 2.65 cm carry currents in opposite directions. The current in one wire is 1.70 A, and the current in the other is 3.00 A.(a) Find the magnitude of the force per unit length that one wire exerts on the other. (b) Is the force attractive or repulsive?

In a physics demonstration, two long parallel wires are separated by a distance of 2.35 cm. One wire carries a current of 1.75 A while the other carries a current of 3.05 A. The currents are in opposite directions. (a) What is the magnitude of the force per unit length (in N/m) that one wire exerts on the other? (b) Is the force attractive or repulsive? attractive repulsive The magnitude is zero.
