Solution
Two long parallel wires kept 2 m apart carry 3A current each, in the same direction. The force per unit length on one wire due to the other is 9 × 10-7 N/m, attractive.
Explanation:
Given I1 = I2 = 3 A, d = 2 m, the current is flowing in the same direction,
Now, `F/l = (mu_0I_1I_2)/(2pid)`
= `(4pi xx 10^-7 xx 3 xx 3)/(2pi xx 2)`
= 9 × 10-7 N/m
`F/l = 9 xx 10^-7` N/m
