Two high-current transmission lines carry currents of 29.0 A and 80.0 A in the same direction and are suspended parallel to each other 37.0 cm apart. Part A: If the vertical posts supporting these wires divide the lines into straight 19.0 m segments, what magnetic force does each segment exert on the other?
Part B: Is the force found in part A attractive or repulsive

Respuesta :

Answer:

237.5 N

Explanation:

Force between two current carrying conductor per unit length ,

= [tex]\frac{\mu_0}{4\pi}\times\frac{2I_1I_2}{R}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{\mu_0}{4\pi} =10^{-7} , I_0=29 A, I_2=80A[/tex]

Putting these values , we get

F = 10⁻⁷ X [tex]\frac{2\times29\times80}{.37}[/tex]

F = 12.5 x 10⁻⁴ N per unit length

Force on entire length of wire

12.5 x 10⁻⁴ x 19

237.5 N

The force will be attractive i nature,.
