Prove that magnetic force per unit length on each of the infinitely long wire due to each other is `mu_(0)I_1I_(2)//2pid`.Here it is attractive also.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

On (2), B due to (i) is `=(mu_(0)I_(1))/(2pid)otimes`
`therefore` F on (2) on 1m length
`=I_(2).(mu_(0)I_(1))/(2pid).1`
towards left it is attractive
`=(mu_(0)I_(1)I_(2))/(2pid)` (hence proved)
Similarly on the other wire also.

Figure shows a part of an electric circuit. ABCD is a rectangular loop made of uniform wire. The length AD= BC = 1 cm. The sides AB and DC are long as compared to the other two sides. Find the magnetic force per unit length acting on the wire DC due to the wire AB if the ammeter reads 10A.

The force per unit length between two parallel current carrying wires = (mu_(0)i_(1)i_(2))/(2pir) . The force is attractive when the current is in same direction and repulsive, when the they are in opposite directions. The force between the wires of two parallel wires is shown. We can determine the equilibrium position. Then we displace upper wire by a small distance, keeping lower wire fixed. If the wire returns to or tries to return to its equilibrium position, its equilibrium is stable. We can thus show that upper wire can execute linear simple harmonic motion or not. The length of wire AB is large as compared to separation between the wires. If lamda is mass per unit length of wire CD, then the equilibrium separation h is given by
