Chapter 28, Problem 17P
(II) A compass needle points 28° E of N outdoors. However, when it is placed 12.0 cm to the east of a vertical wire inside a building, it points 55° E of N. What is the magnitude and direction of the current in the wire? The Earth’s field there is 0.50 × 10−4 T and is horizontal.

(b)
Two long parallel wires, each carrying a current of 4.7 A and 2.3 A respectively, lie with a distance of 15
cm from each other. Calculate the magnitude of the force per unit length exerted by one wire on the other.
Hence, find out the total force exerted on a 9.5-cm length of the 2.3-A wire.
If an electric current of 8A is split into three branches, forming a parallel combination, and the lengths of the wires in
these branches are in the ratio 3:4:5, while their diameters are in the ratio 2:3:4, then what is the current flowing
through first branch? Assume that all the wires are made of the same material.
A) 448 A
OB) 0.60 A

(c) Two long, parallel wires are separated by a distance of 2.5 cm. The force per unit length that each wire exerts on the other is 4×10−5 N/m, and the wires repel each other. The current in one wire is 0.60 A. Determine the magnitude and direction of the current flowing in the second wire.
