Two long, parallel wires carry unequal currents in the same direction. The ratio of the currents is 3 to 1. The magnitude of the

magnetic field at a point in the plane of the wires and 10 cm from each wire is 4.0 μT. What is the larger of the two currents?

Answer:

3A is the larger of the two currents.

Explanation:

Let the currents in the two wires be I₁ and I₂

given:

Magnitude of the electric field, B = 4.0μT = 4.0×10⁻⁶T

Distance, R = 10cm = 0.1m

Ratio of the current = I₁ : I₂ = 3 : 1

Now, the magnitude of a magnetic field at a distance 'R' due to the current 'I' is given as

B = \frac{\mu_oI}{2\pi R}

Where \mu_o is the magnitude constant = 4π×10⁻⁷ H/m

Thus, the magnitude of a magnetic field due to I₁ will be

B_1 = \frac{\mu_oI_1}{2\pi R}

B_2 = \frac{\mu_oI_2}{2\pi R}

given,

B = B₁ - B₂ (since both the currents are in the same direction and parallel)

substituting the values of B, B₁ and B₂

we get

4.0×10⁻⁶T =  \frac{\mu_oI_1}{2\pi R} - \frac{\mu_oI_2}{2\pi R}

or

4.0×10⁻⁶T =  \frac{\mu_o}{2\pi R}\times (I_1-I_2 )

also

\frac{I_1}{I_2} = \frac{3}{1}

⇒I_1 = 3\times I_2

substituting the values in the above equation we get

4.0×10⁻⁶T =  \frac{4\pi\times 10^{-7}}{2\pi 0.1}\times (3 I_2-I_2)

⇒I_2 = 1A

also

I_1 = 3\times I_2

⇒I_1 = 3\times 1A

⇒I_1 = 3A

Hence, the larger of the two currents is 3A

aniked [119]

Answer:

The woman's distance from the right end is 1.6m = (8-6.4)m.

The principles of moments about a point or axis running through a point and summation of forces have been used to calculate the required variable.

Principle of moments: the sun of clockwise moments must be equal to the sun of anticlockwise moments.

Also the sun of upward forces must be equal to the sun of downward forces.

Theses are the conditions for static equilibrium.

What is the acceleration of a Ford Mustang GT that can go from 0.00 to 27.8<br> m/s in 5.15 seconds?
bixtya [17]
Finding acceleration= final speed-initial speed/time taken (or A=V-U\T)

Finial speed= 27.8s
Initial speed= 0s
Time taken= 5.15

So..

27.8-0/5.15= 5.40m/s (rounded to two decimal places)
