Question

Determine the magnitude of the force between two 11 m-long parallel wires separated by 0.033 m, both carrying 5.2 A in the same direction.

Answer 1

`F=1.8* 10^(-3)\ N`

Step-by-step explanation:

We have,

Length of wires is 11 m

Separation between wires is 0.033 m

Current in both the wires is 5.2 A

It is required to find the magnitude of force between two wires. The force between wires is given by :

`F=(\mu_o I_1I_2l)/(2\pi r)\\\\F=(4\pi * 10^(-7)* 5.2* 5.2* 11)/(2\pi * 0.033)\\\\F=1.8* 10^(-3)\ N`

So, the magnitude of force between wires is
`1.8* 10^(-3)\ N`
