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.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Solution: By symmetry, each of the wires AB and DC
carries a current of 5A. As the separation between them
is 1 cm, the magnetic force per unit length of DC is
` dF/dl= ((m_0)(i_1)(i_2)/(2 pi d))`
` = ( 2 xx (10^ -7) TmA^-1 (5A)(5A)/(1 xx (10^-2)m))`
` = 5 xx (10^-4) TA = 5 xx (10^-4) N (m^-1).`

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 wire CD is displaced upward to increase the separation by dh, the magnitude of net force per unit length acting on the wire CD becomes
