Answer from: PSAP17

The magnitude and direction of the force per unit length of one wire on the other is 2 x 10⁻⁵ N/m, attractive force.

Explanation:

Given;

distance between the two parallel wires, r = 10 cm = 0.1 m

current in the first wire, I₁ = 2A

current in the second wire, I₂ = 5 A

The force per unit length on each wire can be calculated as;

$\frac{F}{L} = \frac{\mu_oI_1I_2}{2\pi r}$

where;

μ₀ is permeability of free space = 4π x 10⁻⁷ m/A

$\frac{F}{L} = \frac{\mu_oI_1I_2}{2\pi r} \\\\\frac{F}{L} = \frac{4\pi*10^{-7}*2*5}{2\pi *0.1} \\\\\frac{F}{L} = 2 *10^{-5} \ N$ / m

The direction of the force between the two wires is attractive since the current in the two wires are in opposite direction.

Therefore, the magnitude and direction of the force per unit length of one wire on the other is 2 x 10⁻⁵ N/m, attractive force.

Answer from: Quest

answer and explanation;

composition refers to both the types of minerals within a rock and the overall chemical makeup of the rock while texture refers to the size and arrangement of the minerals or grains that make up a rock. both composition and texture can be used to classify rocks, such as igneous rocks. texture describes how the rock became solid or crystallized from liquid, melted rock. composition of a rock describes the minerals that make up a particular rock.

Answer: a charge of -1.0 × 10⁻⁴ c must be placed at x = 26 m.the sign of the charge will be the same sign as the -4.0 µc charge.======electricstatic force between two point charges is given by $f = \dfrac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}$ where k is coulomb's constant, 8.99×10⁹ n·m²/c², q₁ and q₂ are the point charges, and r is the distance between the two point charges.assign positive to q₁let q₁ = 6.0 µc, q₂ = -4.0 µc, q₀ represent the charge at the origin, and q₃ represent this new charge to place.the charge at the origin q₀ would experience the following force f₀₁ from q₁, with r = 6.0 m (note that 1 µc = 10⁻⁶ c) $f_{01} = \dfrac{kq_0q_1}{(\text{6.0 m})^2}$ the force from q₂ $f_{02} = \dfrac{kq_0q_2}{(\text{15 m})^2}$ the force from q₃ $f_{03} = \dfrac{kq_0q_1}{(\text{26 m})^2}$ the net force on the origin charge, q₀, has to be zero for no electrostatic forcehaving an equation where k and q₀ can be divided out of the equation will allow us to solve for q₃ $\begin{aligned} f_{net} & = 0\\ f_{01} + f_{02} + f_{03} & = 0 \\ \dfrac{kq_0q_1}{(\text{6.0 m})^2} + \dfrac{kq_0q_2}{(\text{15 m})^2} + \dfrac{kq_0q_3}{(\text{26 m})^2} & = 0 \\ kq_0 \left( \dfrac{q_1}{(\text{6.0 m})^2} + \dfrac{q_2}{(\text{15 m})^2} + \dfrac{q_3}{(\text{26 m})^2}\right) & = 0 \\ \dfrac{q_1}{(\text{6.0 m})^2} + \dfrac{q_2}{(\text{15 m})^2} + \dfrac{q_3}{(\text{26 m})^2} & = 0 \end{aligned}$ isolating: $\begin{aligned} \dfrac{q_3}{(\text{26 m})^2} & = -\dfrac{q_1}{(\text{6.0 m})^2} - \dfrac{q_2}{(\text{15 m})^2} \\ q_3 & = -(\text{26 m})^2\left(\dfrac{q_1}{(\text{6.0 m})^2} + \dfrac{q_2}{(\text{15 m})^2}\right) \\ q_3 & = -(\text{26 m})^2\left(\dfrac{6.0\times10^{-6} \text{ c}}{(\text{6.0 m})^2} + \dfrac{-4.0\times10^{-6} \text{ c}}{(\text{15 m})^2}\right) \\ q_3 & = -1.0064888 \times 10^{-4}\text{ c} \\ q_3 & = -1.0\times 10^{-4}\text{ c} \end{aligned}$ a charge of -1.0 × 10⁻⁴ c must be placed at x = 26 m.the sign of the charge will be the same as the -4.0 µc charge
