Answer:
The force is the same
Explanation:
The force per meter exerted between two wires carrying a current is given by the formula
where
is the vacuum permeability
is the current in the 1st wire
is the current in the 2nd wire
r is the separation between the wires
In this problem
Substituting, we find the force per unit length on the two wires:
However, the formula is the same for the two wires: this means that the force per meter exerted on the two wires is the same.
The same conclusion comes out from Newton's third law of motion, which states that when an object A exerts a force on an object B, then object B exerts an equal and opposite force on object A (action-reaction). If we apply the law to this situation, we see that the force exerted by wire 1 on wire 2 is the same as the force exerted by wire 2 on wire 1 (however the direction is opposite).
Answer:
E = k Q / [d(d+L)]
Explanation:
As the charge distribution is continuous we must use integrals to solve the problem, using the equation of the elective field
E = k ∫ dq/ r² r^
"k" is the Coulomb constant 8.9875 10 9 N / m2 C2, "r" is the distance from the load to the calculation point, "dq" is the charge element and "r^" is a unit ventor from the load element to the point.
Suppose the rod is along the x-axis, let's look for the charge density per unit length, which is constant
λ = Q / L
If we derive from the length we have
λ = dq/dx ⇒ dq = L dx
We have the variation of the cgarge per unit length, now let's calculate the magnitude of the electric field produced by this small segment of charge
dE = k dq / x²2
dE = k λ dx / x²
Let us write the integral limits, the lower is the distance from the point to the nearest end of the rod "d" and the upper is this value plus the length of the rod "del" since with these limits we have all the chosen charge consider
E = k
We take out the constant magnitudes and perform the integral
E = k λ (-1/x)
Evaluating
E = k λ [ 1/d - 1/ (d+L)]
Using λ = Q/L
E = k Q/L [ 1/d - 1/ (d+L)]
let's use a bit of arithmetic to simplify the expression
[ 1/d - 1/ (d+L)] = L /[d(d+L)]
The final result is
E = k Q / [d(d+L)]
