Answer:
1.6 x
N
Explanation:
If the force between two actual wires has this value, the current is defined to be exactly 1 A.
The force between two parallel wires carrying current can be defined as,
F= μ
L/ 2πd
where,
current
= 1Amp
current
= 2amp
Length 'L'= 1m
distance 'd'= 2.5m
permeability of free space 'μ'= 4πx
N/m
Putting the above values in the equation,
F=( 4πx
x 1 x 2 x 1 )/ 2πx2.5
F= 1.6 x
N
To develop this problem we will apply the concepts related to the Electromagnetic Force. The magnetic force can be defined as the product between the free space constant, the current (of each cable) and the length of these, on the perimeter of the cross section, in this case circular. Mathematically it can be expressed as,

Here,
= Permeability free space
I = Current
L = Length
d= Distance between them
Our values are,




Rearranging the previous equation to find the current,





Therefore the current in the rods is 210.6A
