In this lesson, we will learn how to calculate the magnetic force between two parallel current-carrying wires.
Q1:
Two long, straight wires are parallel and 10 cm apart. One carries a current of 2.0 A, the other a current of 5.0 A. What is the magnitude of the force per unit length between the wires?
Q2:
The figure shows two long straight horizontal wires that are parallel and a distance 2 𝑎 apart, where 𝑎 = 3 0 cm. Both wires carry a current 𝐼 = 3 0 A but in opposite directions.
What is the magnitude of the magnetic field at 𝑃 1 ?
What is the magnitude of the magnetic field at 𝑃 2
Q3:
Two long straight wires are parallel and 65 cm apart. If each wire carries a current of 80 A in the same direction, what is the magnetic force per unit length exerted on each wire?
