Two parallel wires carry currents in the same direction. if the currents in the wires are 1a and 4a and the wires are 5 m apart. calculate the force between the 2 wires. is it attractive or repulsive? calculate the magnetic field midway between the wires.

N

N

Explanation:

= 1 A

= 4 A

= distance between the two wire = 5 m

= Force per unit length acting between the two wires

Force per unit length acting between the two wires is given as

N

= distance of each wire from the midpoint = 2.5 m

Magnetic field midway between the two wires is given as

answer; equivalent to a one(1) horsepower motor;
