Two long parallel wires are hanging free...

Two long parallel wires are hanging freely. If they are connected to a battery (i) in series, (ii) in parallel, what would be the effect on their positions?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To analyze the effect on the positions of two long parallel wires connected to a battery in series and in parallel, we can break down the solution into clear steps. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Setup**: - We have two long parallel wires hanging freely. - We will analyze two scenarios: (i) when the wires are connected in series to a battery, and (ii) when they are connected in parallel to a battery. ...
