Two long, parallel conductors, separated by 11.0 cm, carry currents in the same direction. The first wire carries a current I1 = 3.00 A, and the second carries I2 = 8.00 A.

(a) What is the magnetic field created by I1 at the location of I2?

(b) What is the force per unit length exerted by I1 on I2?

(c) What is the magnetic field created by I2 at the location of I1?

Explanation:

Given that,

Separation between two long parallel conductors, r = 11 cm = 0.11 m

Current in first wire, [tex]I_1=3\ A[/tex]

Current in second wire, [tex]I_2=8\ A[/tex]

(a) The magnetic field created by I₁ at the location of I₂ is given by :

[tex]B_{12}=\dfrac{\mu_o I_1}{2\pi r}\\\\B_{12}=\dfrac{4\pi \times 10^{-7}\times 3I_1}{2\pi \times 0.11}\\\\B_{12}=5.45\times 10^{-6}\ T[/tex]

(b) Magnetic force per unit length exerted by [tex]I_1[/tex] on [tex]I_2[/tex] is given by :

[tex]\dfrac{F}{l}=\dfrac{\mu_o I_1I_2}{2\pi r}\\\\\dfrac{F}{l}=\dfrac{4\pi \times 10^{-7}\times 3\times 8}{2\pi \times 0.11}\\\\\dfrac{F}{l}=4.36\times 10^{-5}\ N/m[/tex]

(c) The magnetic field created by I₂ at the location of I₁ is given by :

[tex]B_{21}=\dfrac{\mu_o I_2} {2\pi r}\\\\B_{12}=\dfrac{4\pi \times 10^{-7}\times 8}{2\pi \times 0.11}\\\\B_{12}=1.45\times 10^{-5}\ T[/tex]

Hence, this is the required solution.
