Do two long parallel wires carrying currents in the same direction attract or repel?
Question 2
*
State the force per unit length between two long parallel currents \(I_1\) and \(I_2\) separated by distance \(d\).
Question 3
*+
Do two long parallel wires carrying currents in opposite directions attract or repel?
Question 4
**
Two long parallel wires carry \(3.0\,\mathrm A\) and \(5.0\,\mathrm A\), separated by \(0.20\,\mathrm m\). Find \(F/L\).
Question 5
**
The force per unit length between two parallel wires is \(2.0\times10^{-5}\,\mathrm{N\,m^{-1}}\). What is the force on a \(0.75\,\mathrm m\) length?
Question 6
**+
Two wires carry \(4.0\,\mathrm A\) and \(6.0\,\mathrm A\). If \(F/L=2.4\times10^{-5}\,\mathrm{N\,m^{-1}}\), find their separation.
Question 7
***
Derive the parallel-wire force per unit length from the straight-wire field and the force on a current-carrying conductor.
Question 8
***
Three long parallel wires are equally spaced in a line. All three carry equal currents in the same direction. What is the net force on the middle wire?
Question 9
****
Two long wires carry currents in the same direction. Explain why the attraction result is consistent with \(\vec F=I\vec L\times\vec B\).
Question 10
****+
Historically, the ampere was related to the force between long parallel wires. If \(I_1=I_2=1.0\,\mathrm A\) and \(d=1.0\,\mathrm m\), find \(F/L\).
