Question : 7
Total: 8
Two infinitely long straight wires A 1 and A 2 carrying currents I and 2 I flowing in the same direction are kept ' d ' distance apart. Where should a third straight wire A 3 carrying current 1.5 I be placed between A 1 and A 2 so that it experiences no net force due to A 1 and A 2 ? Does the net force acting on A 3 depend on the current flowing through it?
Solution:
Finding the position of third wire
Reason
⇒ F 1 =
F 2 =
For no force on the conductorA 3
=
=
3 x = d
x =
Reason
For no force on the conductor
