Question

If the vertical posts supporting these wires divide the lines into straight 19.0 m segments, what magnetic force does each segment exert on the other?

Answer 1

Answer:

Complete question is:

Two high-current transmission lines carry currents of 29.0 A and 78.0 A in the same direction and are suspended parallel to each other 38.0 cm apart.

Part A.) If the vertical posts supporting these wires divide the lines into straight 20.0m segments, what magnetic force does each segment exert on the other? (answer in F= ? N)

Part B.) Is the force found in part (A) attractive or repulsive?

Answer: 0.024 N attraction force is being applied.
