Concept explainers
The magnitude and direction of the current flowing in the second wire.
Answer to Problem 29P
The current flowing in the upward direction in the second wire due to electric field of the first one is 13 A.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The magnitude of the current flowing in the first wire is 24 A in the upward direction exerting an attractive force per unit length of
Formula used:
Force exerted by a single wire on the other parallel single wire is
Calculation:
Current flowing in the second wire due to the force experienced is
Conclusion:
The current flowing in the upward direction in the second wire due to electric field of the first one is 13 A.
