Question 112

Multiple Choice

Two long parallel wires that are 0.30 m0.30 \mathrm {~m} apart carry currents of 5.0 A5.0 \mathrm {~A} and 8.0 A8.0 \mathrm {~A} in the opposite direction. Find the magnitude of the force per unit length that each wire exerts on the other wire and indicate if the force is attractive or repulsive. (μ0=4π×107 Tm/A) \left( \mu _ { 0 } = 4 \pi \times 10 ^ { - 7 } \mathrm {~T} \cdot \mathrm { m } / \mathrm { A } \right)


A) 7.2×105 N7.2 \times 10 ^ { - 5 } \mathrm {~N} repulsive
B) 2.7×105 N2.7 \times 10 ^ { - 5 } \mathrm {~N} attractive
C) 2.7×105 N2.7 \times 10 ^ { - 5 } \mathrm {~N} repulsive
D) 7.2×105 N7.2 \times 10 ^ { - 5 } \mathrm {~N} attractive
E) 3.4×105 N3.4 \times 10 - 5 \mathrm {~N} attractive
