two parallel wires have a current of 22A flowing through each oneof
them. when the wires are placed 25cm apart, the exert a force
of2.7x10-4N on each other. find the length of the wires.

Answer :

Answer:

The length of both the wires is 69 cm

Explanation:

It is given that,

Current flowing in each wire, [tex]I_1=I_2=22\ A[/tex]

Distance between wires, d = 25 cm = 0.25 m

Force exerted on each wire, [tex]F=2.7\times 10^{-4}\ N[/tex]

The force per unit length between two parallel wires carrying current is given by :

[tex]\dfrac{F}{l}=\dfrac{\mu_oI_1I_2}{2\pi d}[/tex]

l is the length of the wires

[tex]l=\dfrac{2\pi dF}{\mu_oI_1I_2}[/tex]

[tex]l=\dfrac{2\pi \times 0.25\times 2.7\times 10^{-4}}{4\pi \times 10^{-7}\times (22)^2}[/tex]    

[tex]l=0.69\ m[/tex]

or

l = 69 cm

So, the length of both the wires is 69 cm. Hence, this is the required solution.
