Chapter 26, Problem 85

(choose chapter or problem)

Your colleague wants to carry this current on two parallel conducting rods 30 cm apart; each rod carries 15 kA with the currents flowing in opposite directions. The proposal calls for clamping the conductors in place every meter, with clamps capable of withstanding a maximum force of 100 N. Is the clamp design adequate?
