Chapter 20 Problem 45

Question

45. (II) Three long parallel wires are 3.8cm from one another. (Looking along them, they are at three corners of an equilateral triangle.) The current in each wire is 8.00 A. but its direction in wire M is opposite to that in wires N and P (Fig. 20-60). Determine the magnetic force per unit length on each wire due to the other twro.

Solution

Step 1 of 3)

The first step in solving 20 problem number 45 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: 45. (II) Three long parallel wires are 3.8cm from one another. (Looking along them, they are at three corners of an equilateral triangle.) The current in each wire is 8.00 A. but its direction in wire M is opposite to that in wires N and P (Fig. 20-60). Determine the magnetic force per unit length on each wire due to the other twro.
From the textbook chapter Magnetism you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
