TS EAMCET · Physics · Magnetic Effects of Current

Two long parallel wires are separated by a distance of 2.50 cm. The force per unit length that each wire exerts on the other is 4×10-5 N m-1, and the wires repel each other. The current in one wire is 0.5 A. What is the current in the second wire? (Take μ0=4π×10-7 S.I. Unit)

  1. A 12 A
  2. B 8 A
  3. C 6 A
  4. D 10 A
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 10 A

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The formula of force between two current-carrying wire placed parallel to each other in terms of current in each wire and separation between two wires is, F=μ02πr×i1i2×l, the value is given, Fl=4×10-5 N m-1,…
