The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of finding the net force on the conducting rod due to the infinite wire, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Geometry The infinite wire is placed along the z-axis and carries a current \( I_1 \) in the positive z-direction. The conducting rod is in the xy-plane, parallel to the y-axis, carrying a current \( I_2 \) in the positive y-direction. The ends of the rod subtend angles of \( +30^\circ \) and \( -60^\circ \) at the origin with respect to the positive x-direction. ### Step 2: Determine the Length of the Rod Let the distance from the origin to the rod be \( a \). The rod extends from the angle \( -60^\circ \) to \( +30^\circ \). The length of the rod can be determined using the angles: - The coordinates of the endpoints of the rod can be found using trigonometry: - For the endpoint at \( +30^\circ \): \[ L_1 = a \cos(30^\circ) = a \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \] - For the endpoint at \( -60^\circ \): \[ L_2 = a \cos(-60^\circ) = a \frac{1}{2} \] - The length of the rod \( L \) is the difference between these two lengths: \[ L = L_1 - L_2 = a \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} - a \frac{1}{2} = a \left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} - \frac{1}{2}\right) \] ### Step 3: Calculate the Force on the Rod The force on a current-carrying conductor in a magnetic field is given by: \[ F = I_2 L B \] Where \( B \) is the magnetic field due to the infinite wire. The magnetic field at a distance \( r \) from a long straight wire carrying current \( I_1 \) is given by: \[ B = \frac{\mu_0 I_1}{2 \pi r} \] In our case, \( r = a \). ### Step 4: Substitute and Integrate The force on the rod can be expressed as: \[ F = I_2 L \left(\frac{\mu_0 I_1}{2 \pi a}\right) \] Now, substituting the expression for \( L \): \[ F = I_2 \left(a \left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} - \frac{1}{2}\right)\right) \left(\frac{\mu_0 I_1}{2 \pi a}\right) \] The \( a \) cancels out: \[ F = I_2 \left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} - \frac{1}{2}\right) \left(\frac{\mu_0 I_1}{2 \pi}\right) \] ### Step 5: Final Expression Now, simplifying the expression: \[ F = \frac{\mu_0 I_1 I_2}{2 \pi} \left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} - \frac{1}{2}\right) \] Calculating \( \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} - \frac{1}{2} = \frac{\sqrt{3} - 1}{2} \): \[ F = \frac{\mu_0 I_1 I_2}{2 \pi} \cdot \frac{\sqrt{3} - 1}{2} \] ### Step 6: Conclusion Thus, the net force on the rod is: \[ F = \frac{\mu_0 I_1 I_2 (\sqrt{3} - 1)}{4 \pi} \]
