Question

Problem 53P

IP Two long, straight wires are separated by a distance of 9.25 cm. One wire carries a current of 2.75 A, the other carries a current of 4.33 A. (a) Find the force per meter exerted on the 2.75-A wire, (b) Is the force per meter exerted on the 4.33-A wire greater than, less than, or the same as the force per meter exerted on the 2.75-A wire? Explain.

Solution

Step 1 of 2:

a)

Here, we have to calculate the force per meter exerted on the 2.75 A wire.

Given that,

.

.

.

.

From equation 22.10,

             

              .

So, the required force per meter is  .
