Two current-carrying wires are exactly parallel to one another and both carry 2.5A of current. The two wires are separated by a

distance of 15cm. The current in wire 1 moves down and the current in wire 2 also moves down. What is the magnitude of the magnetic force per unit length caused by wire 1 on wire 2. What is the direction of the magnetic force caused by wire 2 on wire 1.

1) Magnitude per unit length: 8.3\cdot 10^{-6} N

The magnetic force per unit length between two current-carrying wires is given by:

\frac{F}{\Delta L}=\frac{\mu_0 I_1 I_2}{2 \pi r}

where

\mu_0 = 4\pi \cdot 10^{-7} Tm/A is the vacuum permeability

I_1 =I_2 =2.5 A is the current in each wire

r=15 cm=0.15 m is the distance between the two wires

Substituting the numbers into the equation, we find

\frac{F}{\Delta L}=\frac{(4\pi \cdot 10^{-7} Tm/A)(2.5 A)(2.5 A)}{2 \pi (0.15 m)}=8.3\cdot 10^{-6} N

2)  direction of the force: attractive

First of all, let's analyze what is the direction of the magnetic field produced by wire 2 at the location of wire 1. Assume that wire 2 is on the left of wire 1. The direction of the current for wire 2 is down, so by using the right-hand rule, we see that the direction of the magnetic field at the location of wire 2 is south.

Now we apply the right-hand rule on wire 2, to find the direction of the force:

- current: down (index finger)

- magnetic field: south (middle finger)

- force: to the left (thumb)

So, the force exerted by wire 2 on wire 1 is towards wire 2 (attractive force)

A fully loaded, slow-moving freight elevator has a cab with a total mass of 1200 kg, which is required to travel upward 54 m in
Lana71 [14]

Answer:

The average power is calculated as 735.0 W

Solution:

As per the question:

Total mass, M = 1200 kg

Counter mass of the elevator, m = 950

Distance traveled by the elevator, d = 54 m

Time taken, t = 3 min = 180 s

Now,

To calculate the average power:

First, we find the force needed for lifting the weight:

Force, F = (M - m)g = (1200 - 950)\times 9.8 = 2450 N

Now, the work done by this force:

W = Fd = 2450\times 54 = 132300\ J = 132.3\ kJ

Average power is given as:

P_{avg} = \frac{W}{t} = \frac{132300}{180} = 735.0\ W
