Chapter 28, Problem 28.31E
Lamp Cord Wires. The wires in a household lamp cord are typically 3.0 mm apart center to center and carry equal currents in opposite directions. If the cord carries direct current to a 100-W light bulb connected across a 120-V potential difference, what force per meter does each wire of the cord exert on the other? Is the force attractive or repulsive? Is this force large enough so it should be considered in the design of the lamp cord? (Model the lamp cord as a very long straight wire.)

The use of superconductors has been proposed for power transmission lines. A single coaxial cable (Fig. P31.47) could carry a power of 1.00 103 MW (the output of a large power plant) at 200 kV, DC, over a distance of 1.00 103 km without loss.
