Question

Two parallel wires are 16 cm apart. Each wire is 2 cm long.One wire is a carrying a current of 15 A and the other wire iscarrying a current of 22 A. Both currents are going in the samedirection.

A. Determine the force between the two wires. ??? N B. Is the force attractive, repulsive, or neither? Two parallel wires are 16 cm apart. Each wire is 2 cm long.One wire is a carrying a current of 15 A and the other wire iscarrying a current of 22 A. Both currents are going in the samedirection.

A. Determine the force between the two wires. ??? N B. Is the force attractive, repulsive, or neither?

Explanation / Answer

length of each wire = L1= L2= 2cm= 0.02m I1= 15A, I2= 22A F = 0 I1I2L/2d where 0/2 = 2* 10-7 F = 2* 10-7 * 15* 22* 0.02/ *0.16= 82.5 *10-7 N both the current are going in same direction so force isattractive force F = 2* 10-7 * 15* 22* 0.02/ *0.16= 82.5 *10-7 N both the current are going in same direction so force isattractive force
