Two long, straight wires are parallel and 20 cm apart. One carries a current of 2.2 A, the other a current of 5.9 A. (a) If the

two currents flow in opposite directions, what is the magnitude (in N/m) and direction of the force per unit length of one wire on the other

Answer: 1.298\times 10^{-5}\ N/m

Explanation:

Given

Current in the first wire I_1=2.2\ A

Current in the second wire I_2=5.9\ A

wires are 20\ cm apart

Force per unit length between the current-carrying wires is

\Rightarrow \dfrac{F}{l}=\dfrac{\mu_oI_1I_2}{2\pi r}

Force exerted  by the wires is the same

Put the values

\Rightarrow \frac{F}{l}=f=\dfrac{4\pi \times 10^{-7}\times 2.2\times 5.9}{2\pi \times 0.2}=1.298\times 10^{-5}\ N/m

This force will be repulsive in nature as the current is flowing opposite

A laser of wavelength 720 nm illuminates a double slit where the separation between the slits is 0.22 mm. Fringes are seen on a
kumpel [21]

Answer:

The appropriate solution is "2.78 mm".

Explanation:

Given:

\lambda = 720 \ nm

or,

  = 720\times 10^{-9} \ m

D=0.85 \ m

d = 0.22 \ mm

or,

  =0.22 \times 10^{-3} \ m

As we know,

Fringe width is:

⇒ \beta=\frac{\lambda D}{d}

hence,

Separation between second and third bright fringes will be:

⇒ \theta=\beta=\frac{\lambda D}{d}

       =\frac{720\times 10^{-9}\times 0.85}{0.22\times 10^{-3}}

       =2.78\times 10^{-3} \ m

or,

       =2.78 \ mm
