Question: Two parallel wires are separated by a distance R as shown in the diagram. As compared to their separation, the wires are very long, extending
Two parallel wires are separated by a distance as shown in the diagram. As compared to their separation, the wires are very long, extending well beyond the boundaries of the image. Wire carries current Wire carries current in the opposite direction as the first current. Coordinate axes have been included for convenience.
Part a
What is the direction of the magnetic field due to current at the location of Wire
Part b
Enter an expression for the magnitude of the magnetic field due to the current at the location of Wire
Part c
What is the direction of a finite current element of the second wire?
Part d
Enter an expression for the magnitude of the force on a finite current element of Wire due to the current in Wire
Part e
Enter an expression for the magnitude of the force per unit length on Wire due to the current in Wire
Part f
What is the direction of the force on Wire due to the current in Wire
Part g
What is the direction of the magnetic field due to current at the location of Wire
Part h
Enter an expression for the magnitude of the magnetic field due to the current at the location of Wire
Part i
What is the direction of a finite current element of the first wire?
Part j
Enter an expression for the magnitude of the force on a finite current element of Wire due to the current in Wire
Part k
Enter an expression for the magnitude of the force per unit length on Wire due to the current in Wire
Part
What is the direction of the force on Wire due to the current in Wire
Part
Which is the best description of the direction of the forces between two parallel wires with "opposite currents"?
Part n
Look carefully at the expressions for the forces on Wire and Wire both magnitude and direction. With hindsight we see that the force on Wire could be obtained from the expression earlier obtained for Wire as a direct application of
