A straight wire, labeled as Wire A, lies horizontally on a tabletop and is oriented to run north-south. A conventional current o

f 1.0 amperes runs in the wire directed towards the north. A second wire, labeled as Wire B, is also laid on the tabletop oriented north- south. Which of the following statements is true?
a. If Wire B carries no current in it and lies to the left (west) of wire A, then it will experience an attractive force to the right towards wire A).
b. If Wire B carries a northward conventional current and lies to the left (west) of wire A, then it will experience an attractive force to the right (towards Wire A).
c. If Wire B carries a northward conventional current and lies to the right (east) of wire A, then it will experience a repulsive force to the right (away from Wire A).
d. If Wire B carries a southward conventional current and lies to the left (west) of wire A, then it will experience a repulsive force to the left (away from Wire A).

Answer:

b. If Wire B carries a northward conventional current and lies to the left (west) of wire A, then it will experience an attractive force to the right (towards Wire A).

d. If Wire B carries a southward conventional current and lies to the left (west) of wire A, then it will experience a repulsive force to the left (away from Wire A).

Explanation:

Two parallel conductors experience attractive force when the current flowing in the conductors are in the same direction.

Also two parallel conductors experience repulsive force when the current flowing in the conductors are in opposite direction.

Therefore, b and d are the correct options.

b. If Wire B carries a northward conventional current and lies to the left (west) of wire A, then it will experience an attractive force to the right (towards Wire A).

d. If Wire B carries a southward conventional current and lies to the left (west) of wire A, then it will experience a repulsive force to the left (away from Wire A).

List and explain briefly similarities and differences between the electric force between two charges and the gravitational force
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

Please see below as the answers are self-explanatory.

Explanation:

  • Similarities

1) The resultant force is along the line that joins both charges or both masses (assuming both objects can be represented as points)

2) Both type of forces obey  Newton's 3rd law.

3) Both are proportional to the product of the property that is affected by the force (charges and masses)

4) Both obey an inverse - square law (consequence of our universe being three-dimensional)

  • Differences

1) Main difference, is that while the gravitational force is always attractive, the electrostatic force can be attractive or repulsive, as there are two types of charges, which attract each other being of different type, and repel each other if they are of the same type.

2) It  is possible, artificially, to block the influence of the electrostatic force, shielding a room, for instance, which is not possible for the gravitational force.

So basically the objects would be sandpaper and smooth metal, the sandpaper can indirectly touch the metal since it’s so smooth and it won’t cause any temp change either
