JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 4. Moving charges and magnetism

Two \(10 \; cm\) long, straight wires, each carrying a current of \(5 \; A\) are kept parallel to each other. If each wire experienced a force of \(10^{-5} \; N\), then separation between the wires is \(\dots \; cm\).

  1. A \(3\)
  2. B \(4\)
  3. C \(5\)
  4. D \(6\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(5\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

It should be mentioned, \(10 \; cm\) wire is part of long wire. Force experienced by unit length of wire \(=\frac{\mu_{0} I _{1} I _{2}}{2 \pi d }, I _{1}= I _{2}=5 \; A\) Force experienced by wires of length \(10 \; cm\)…
