Arsenic is Element Number 33 ... it has 33 protons in its nucleus.

You're correct that the stable isotope of the atom is the one with
42 neutrons, for a total Atomic Weight of 75.

Atoms of Arsenic also exist with 41 neutrons and 40 neutrons
in their nucleus, but those are unstable.

The nucleus with 41 neutrons (Atomic Weight = 74) has a 50% chance
of falling apart and becoming a nucleus of Germanium within 80 days.

The nucleus with 40 neutrons (Atomic Weight = 73) has a 50% chance
of falling apart and becoming a nucleus of Germanium within 18 days.

Determine the magnitude of the force between two 42 m-long parallel wires separated by 0.03 m, both carrying 6.3 A in the same d
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

The magnitude of the force between the two parallel wires is 0.0111 N.

Explanation:

Given;

length of the two parallel wires, L = 42 m

distance between the two wires, r = 0.03 m

current in both wires, I₁, I₂ = 6.3 A

Therefore, the magnitude of the repulsive force between the two parallel wires is given by;

F = \frac{\mu_0 I_1I_2l}{2\pi r}\\\\where;\\\mu_0 \ is \ permeability \ of \ free \ space = 4\pi *10^{-7} \ T.m/A \\\\F = \frac{(4\pi *10^{-7})(6.3)^2(42)}{2\pi (0.03)}\\\\F =   0.0111 \ N

Therefore, the magnitude of the force between the two parallel wires is 0.0111 N.
