A 2.90 m segment of wire supplying current to the motor of a submerged submarine carries 1400 A and feels a 2.00 N repulsive force from a parallel wire 4.50 cm away. What is the direction and magnitude (in A) of the current in the other wire? magnitude A direction

Sagot :

Answer:

[tex]I_2=30.9A[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Wire segment [tex]l_s=2.9m[/tex]

Initial Current [tex]I_1=1400A[/tex]

Force [tex]F=2.00N[/tex]

Distance of Wire [tex]d=4.50cm=>0.0450m[/tex]

Generally the equation for Force is mathematically given by

 [tex]F=\frac{\mu_0 * I_1*I_2*l_s}{2 \pi *r}[/tex]

 [tex]F=\frac{4 \pi*10^{-7} *1400 I*I_2*2.9}{2 \pi *0.0450}[/tex]

 [tex]I_2=\frac{22.5*10^-2}{2*10^{-7}*1400*2.6}[/tex]

 [tex]I_2=30.9A[/tex]
