The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of finding the magnitude of the force between two parallel conductors carrying current, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the given values - Length of the conductors, \( l = 110 \, \text{cm} = 1.1 \, \text{m} \) (conversion from cm to m) - Current in each conductor, \( I_1 = I_2 = 10 \, \text{A} \) - Distance between the conductors, \( d = 10 \, \text{cm} = 0.1 \, \text{m} \) (conversion from cm to m) ### Step 2: Use the formula for the force per unit length between two parallel conductors The formula for the force per unit length \( \frac{F}{l} \) between two parallel conductors is given by: \[ \frac{F}{l} = \frac{\mu_0}{2\pi} \cdot \frac{I_1 I_2}{d} \] where \( \mu_0 \) (the permeability of free space) is approximately \( 4\pi \times 10^{-7} \, \text{T m/A} \). ### Step 3: Substitute the values into the formula Substituting the known values into the formula: \[ \frac{F}{l} = \frac{4\pi \times 10^{-7}}{2\pi} \cdot \frac{10 \cdot 10}{0.1} \] ### Step 4: Simplify the equation - The \( \pi \) terms cancel out: \[ \frac{F}{l} = \frac{4 \times 10^{-7}}{2} \cdot \frac{100}{0.1} \] - Simplifying further: \[ \frac{F}{l} = 2 \times 10^{-7} \cdot 1000 = 2 \times 10^{-7} \cdot 10^3 = 2 \times 10^{-4} \, \text{N/m} \] ### Step 5: Calculate the total force \( F \) Now, we can find the total force \( F \) by multiplying the force per unit length by the length of the conductors: \[ F = \left(2 \times 10^{-4}\right) \cdot 1.1 = 2.2 \times 10^{-4} \, \text{N} \] ### Step 6: Final Result Thus, the magnitude of the force between the two conductors is: \[ F = 2.2 \times 10^{-4} \, \text{N} = 22 \times 10^{-5} \, \text{N} \] ### Conclusion The final answer is \( 22 \times 10^{-5} \, \text{N} \). ---
