Along wire is placed 2.0 cm directly below a rigidly mounted second wire (Fig. 19.42). (a) Use
Question:
(a) Use the right-hand source and force rules to determine whether the currents in the wires should be in (1) the same or (2) the opposite direction so that the lower wire is in equilibrium. (It floats.)
(b) If the lower wire has a linear mass density 1.5 * 10-3 kg/m of and the wires carry the same current, what should be the current?
Step by Step Answer:
a The top wire must attract the lower wire ...View the full answer

In Physics, a force is an influence that can change the motion of an object. A force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity, i.e., to accelerate. Force can also be described intuitively as a push or a pull. A force has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity. In this video, the concept of force and torque is demonstrated with the practical application of changing the flat tire of the car.
