Two long, parallel wires hang by 4.00 cm long cords from a common axis (Fig. P28.65). The wires have a mass per unit length of 0.0125 kg/m and carry the same current in opposite directions. What is the current in each wire if the cords hang at an angle of 6.00with the vertical?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The current in each wire is 23.2 A.

Step by step solution

01

Concept of magnetic field and force due to current carrying wire.

The magnetic field created by the electric field equals the size of that electric current with the same proportions as the free access space.

The magnitude of the magnetic field due to current-carrying wire is,

B=0I2蟺谤

Here, B is the magnetic field, 0is the permeability of free space, I is the current, and r is the radius.

The expression of force exerted by one current carrying wire on the other is,

F=0L1I22蟺谤

Where, I1and I2are current and L is the length of wire.

02

Determination of the current in each wire.

The diagram depicting the force on one wire is given below

Apply F=0on the wire as the current and force are inter dependent.

The force on one wire is given by,

F=022蟺谤L

The distance between the wires is,

r=2(0.040m)sin=8.362103m

From the image,

0l22rL=Lgtan

Here,m=位尝

Solve for the current I,

I=位驳谤迟补苍02 鈥.. (1)

Consider the given data as below.

The wires have a mass per unit length,=0.0125kg/m

Acceleration due to gravity,g=9.80m/s2

Angle,=6.00

Permeability of free space,0=4107Tm/A

Substitute known values into equation (1).

I=(0.0125kg/m)9.80m/s2tan6.008.362103m2107Tm/A=23.2A

Thus, the current in each wire is 23.2 A.
