Two long wires hang vertically. Wire 1 carries an upward current of 1.20 A. Wire 2, 20.0 cm to the right of wire 1, carries a do

wnward current of 4.20 A. A third wire, wire 3, is to be hung vertically and located such that when it carries a certain current, each wire experiences no net force.
(a) Is this situation possible?
A. Yes
B. No
Is it possible in more than one way?
A. Yes
B. No
(b) Describe the position of wire 3.
distance ________ cm
direction: left of wire 1

Answer:

Explanation:

A, yes

b,

The force(per unit length) on wire 1 by 2 is to the left and

= μo*I1*I2/2πr

= 2*10^-7 * 1.2 * 4.2/0.20

= 5.04*10^-6N/m

From third law we have the force on wire2 by wire 1 is 5.04*10^-6N/m and to the right

So the magnitude of the force on each wire by wire 3 must be 4.2*10^-6N/m

Since the current in wire 2 is > wire 1 then wire 3 must be closer to wire 1 than 2

and wire 3 must be to the left of wire 1

Let x be the distance from wire 3 to wire 1 so x + 0.20 = distance from wire 3 to wire 2

Now μo*I1*I3/2πx = μo*I3*I2/2π(x + 0.20)

so solving for x we get

I1/x = I2/(x+0.20)

or x +0.20 = 4x

so x = 0.20/3 = 0.0667m

Now μo*I1*I3/2πx = 4.2*10^-6

so I3 = 4.2x10^-6 * 0.0667/(2.0x10^-7 * 1.2) = 1.167 A and its direction is down

Musya8 [376]

Answer:

Both technicians are right, to be able to make a threaded joint you need to use the external thread on one part of the rod using the tap and die set, and on the other side of the rod you need to have an internal thread using the thread repair insert kit

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Hooke's law! F(spring)=-kx

There's no tricky square law here. The spring constant doesn't change, only x (distance stretched) changes. Therefore, if distance is halved, Force will be halved.
