Two long parallel wires, each carrying a current of 12 A, lie at a distance of 9 cm from each other. What is the magnetic force per unit length exerted by one wire on the other? The magnetic force per unit length exerted by one wire on the other is ×10-4 N/m.

Respuesta :

Answer:

Force per unit length between two conductors will be [tex]3.2\times 10^{-4}N[/tex]

Explanation:

We have given that two long parallel wires each carrying a current of 12 A

So [tex]I_1=I_2=12A[/tex]

Distance between the two conductors d = 9 cm = 0.09 m

We know that magnetic force between two parallel conductors per unit length is given by

[tex]F=\frac{\mu _0I_1I_2}{2\pi d}=\frac{4\times 3.14\times 10^{-7}\times 12\times 12}{2\times 3.14\times 0.09}=3.2\times 10^{-4}N[/tex]

Force per unit length between two conductors will be [tex]3.2\times 10^{-4}N[/tex]
