Two parallel wires are separated by a = 6.00 cm, each carrying I = 3.00 A of current in the same direction. (a) What is the magnitude of the force per unit length between the wires? (b) Is the force attractive or repulsive?

Step 1
00 \, \text{A} \) - \( d = 0.06 \, \text{m} \) (converted from 6.00 cm) Plugging in the values: \[ \frac{F}{l} = \frac{4\pi \times 10^{-7} \times 3.00 \times 3.00}{2\pi \times 0.06} \] 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?

Two long, parallel wires are separated by a distance of 0.400 $\mathrm{m}$ (Fig, 28.43$)$ . The currents $I_{1}$ and $I_{2}$ have the directions shown. (a) Calculate the magnitude of the force exerted by each wire on a $1.20-\mathrm{m}$ length of the other. Is the force attractive or repulsive? (b) Each current is doubled, so that $I_{1}$ becomes 10.0 $\mathrm{A}$ and $I_{2}$ becomes 4.00 $\mathrm{A}$ . Now what is the magnitude of the force that each wire exerts on a $1.20-\mathrm{m}$ length of the other?
