Chapter 29 Problem 84

Question

Three long wires all lie in an xy plane parallel to the x axis. They are spaced equally, 10 cm apart. The two outer wires each carry a current of 5.0 A in the positive x direction. What is the magnitude of the force on a 3.0 m section of either of the a/ y - - ;1 1 ~~ Lx I I-a ,I Fig. 29-85 83. outer wires if the current in the center wire is 3.2 A (a) in the positive x direction and (b) in the negative x direction?

Solution

Step 1 of 5)

The first step in solving 29 problem number 84 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Three long wires all lie in an xy plane parallel to the x axis. They are spaced equally, 10 cm apart. The two outer wires each carry a current of 5.0 A in the positive x direction. What is the magnitude of the force on a 3.0 m section of either of the a/ y - - ;1 1 ~~ Lx I I-a ,I Fig. 29-85 83. outer wires if the current in the center wire is 3.2 A (a) in the positive x direction and (b) in the negative x direction?
From the textbook chapter MAGNETIC FIELDS DUE TO CURRENTS you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
