Answer to Problem 65PQ

The force per unit length exerted on wire A is (1.04×106i^5.39×106j^)N/m.

Explanation of Solution

The curent flowing in all the wires is in the same direction. Therefore, the wires will be attracted towards each other.

The forces acting on the wire A due to the current in the wire B and wire C are as shown below.

EBK PHYSICS FOR SCIENTISTS AND ENGINEER, Chapter 30, Problem 65PQ , additional homework tip  1

Write the expression for force exerted on wire A due to current in wire C as.

    FCA=μ0IAIC2πr                                                                                                  (I)

Here, IA is current in wire A, IC is current in wire C, μ0 is the permeability, r is the distance between the wires, FCA is force acting on wire A due to wire C.

Write the expression for force exerted on wire A due to current in wire B as.

    FBA=μ0IAIB2πr                                                                                                 (II)

Here, IB is current in wire B  and FBA is force acting on wire A due to wire B.

The components of the forces FCA and FBA along the X-axis and Y-axis are given as.

EBK PHYSICS FOR SCIENTISTS AND ENGINEER, Chapter 30, Problem 65PQ , additional homework tip  2

Write the expression for component of the forces along the X-axis as.

  Fx=(FCAsinθ2FBAsinθ2)i^                                                                     (III)

Here, Fx is the net force in X-axis and θ is the angle between the two forces.

Write the expression for component of the forces along the Y-axis as.

  Fy=(FCAcosθ2+FBAcosθ2)j^                                                                (IV)

Here, Fy is the net force in Y-axis.

Write the expression for the net force on the wire A as.

  Fnet=Fx+Fy                                                                                                 (V)

Here, Fnet is the net force on the wire A.

The distance between all the three wires is same. Therefore the wires form an equilateral triangle. So, the angle between the two forces is 60°.

Conclusion:

Substitute 4π×107NA2 for μ0, 1.63 A for IA, 3.26 A for IC and 0.256 m for r in equation (I).

  FCA=(4π×107NA2)(1.63A)(3.26A)2π(0.256m)=1.06×1060.256N/m=4.15×106N/m

Substitute 4π×107NA2 for μ0, 1.63 A for IA, 1.63 A for IB and 0.256 m for r in equation (II)

    FBA=(4π×107NA2)(1.63A)(1.63A)2π(0.256m)=5.31×1060.256N/m=2.07×106N/m

Substitute 4.15×106N/m for FCA, 2.07×106N/m for FBA and 60° for θ in equation (III).

    Fx=((4.15×106N/m)sin30°(2.07×106N/m)sin30°)i^=((2.075×106N/m)(1.035×106N/m))i^=(1.04×106N/m)i^

Substitute 4.15×106N/m for FCA, 2.07×106N/m for FBA and 60° for θ  in equation (IV).

  Fy=((4.15×106N/m)cos30°+(2.07×106N/m)cos30°)j^=((3.594×106N/m)+(1.792×106N/m))j^=(5.386×106N/m)j^(5.39×106N/m)j^

Substitute 1.04×106i^N/m for Fx and 5.39×106j^N/m for Fy in equation (V).

  Fnet=(1.04×106i^5.39×106j^)N/m

Thus, the force per unit length exerted on wire A is (1.04×106i^5.39×106j^)N/m.

Here, FCB is the force acting on wire B due to wire C.

The components of the forces FAB and FCB along the X-axis and Y-axis are given as.

The wires form an equilateral triangle. So, the angle between the two forces is 60°.

Conclusion:

Substitute 4π×107NA2 for μ0, 1.63 A for IA, 1.63 A for IB and 0.256 m for r in equation (VI).

  FAB=(4π×107NA2)(1.63 A)(1.63 A)2π(0.256 m)=5.314×1070.256N/m=2.07×106N/m

Substitute 4π×107NA2 for μ0, 3.26 A for IC, 1.63 A for IB and 0.256 m for r in equation (VII).

  FCB=(4π×107NA2)(3.26 A)(1.63 A)2π(0.256 m)=1.06×1060.256N/m=4.15×106N/m

Substitute 4.15×106N/m for FCB, 2.07×106N/m for FAB and 60° for θ in equation (VIII).

  Fx=((4.15×106N/m)+(2.07×106N/m)cos60°)i^=(5.19×106N/m)i^

Substitute 2.07×106N/m for FAB and 60° for θ in equation (IX).

  Fy=((2.07×106N/m)sin60°)j^=(1.80×106N/m)j^

Substitute 5.19×106i^N/m for Fx and 1.80×106j^N/m for Fy in equation (X).

  Fnet=(5.19×106i^+1.80×106j^)N/m

Thus, the force per unit length exerted on wire B is (5.19×106i^+1.80×106j^)N/m.
