Complete question:

Two parallel 3.0-meter long wires conduct current. The current in the top wire is 12.5 A and flows to the right. The top wire feels a repulsive force of 2.4 x 10^-4 N created by the interaction of the 12.5 A current and the magnetic field created by the bottom current (I). Find the magnitude and direction of the bottom current, if the distance between the two wires is 40cm.

Answer:

The bottom current is 12.8 A to the right.

Explanation:

Given;

length of the wires, L = 3.0 m

current in the top wire, I₁ = 12.5 A

repulsive force between the two wires, F = 2.4 x 10⁻⁴ N

distance between the two wires, r = 40 cm = 0.4 m

The repulsive force between the two wires is given by;

F = \frac{\mu_oI_1I_2L}{2\pi r}\\\\I_{2} = \frac{2F\pi r}{\mu_oI_1L}

Where;

I₂ is the bottom current

The direction of the bottom current must be in the same direction as the top current since the force between the two wires is repulsive.

I_{2} = \frac{2F\pi r}{\mu_oI_1L}\\\\I_{2} = \frac{2(2.4*10^{-4})(\pi)(0.4)}{(4\pi*10^{-7})(12.5)(3)}\\\\I_{2} = 12.8 \ A

Therefore, the bottom current is 12.8 A to the right.

Aristotle supported which of these views?
katrin2010 [14]

The answer is A. The Sun and all the planets revolve around Earth.

Aristotle believed that the Earth was the centre of the solar system, and the Sun and the planets orbited around it. He believed that the universe was composed of Earth-like bodies, which were at rest, and of heavenly bodies, which were in perpetual motion.

jeka57 [31]

Answer:

The magnitude of change in momentum is (2mv).

Explanation:

The momentum of an object is given by the product of mass and velocity with which it is moving.

Let the mass of ball is m. A tennis player smashes a ball of mass m horizontally at a vertical wall. The ball rebounds at the same speed v with which it struck the wall.

Initial speed of the ball is v and final speed, when it rebounds, is (-v). The change in momentum is given by :

p = final momentum - initial momentum

p=-mv-mv\\\\p=-2mv

So, the magnitude of change in momentum is (2mv).

Two long parallel wires are separated by forty centimeters and carry oppositely-directed currents of ten amperes. Find the magni
Softa [21]

Answer:

1.04μT

Explanation:

Due to both wires have opposite currents, the magnitude of the total magnetic field is given by

B_T=\frac{\mu_o I}{2 \pi r_1}-\frac{\mu_o I}{2 \pi r_2}

I: electric current = 10A

mu_o: magnetic permeability of vacuum = 4pi*10^{-7} N/A^2

r1: distance from wire 1 to the point in which B is measured.

r2: distance from wire 2.

The distance between wires is 40cm = 0.4m. Hence, r1=0.2m r2=0.6m

By replacing in the formula you obtain:

B_T=\frac{(4\pi *10^{-7}N/A^2)(10A)}{2\pi}(\frac{1}{0.4m}-\frac{1}{0.6m})=1.04*10^{-6}T =1.04\mu T

hence, the magnitude of the magnetic field is 1.04μT
