Two parallel very long straight wires carrying current of 5A each are kept at a separation of 1m. If the currents are in the same direction, the force per unit length between them is

The force per unit between the two parallel wires with same current flowing in the same direction is 5 x 10⁻⁶ N/m repulsive force.

Explanation:

Given;

current though the two parallel wires, I₁ and I₂ = 5A

distance between the two wires, R = 1 m

The force per unit of the wires is calculated as;

Where;

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

Substitute in the given values into the equation and determine the force per unit length (F/L).

Therefore , the force per unit between the two parallel wires with same current flowing in the same direction is 5 x 10⁻⁶ N/m repulsive force.

one "light year" is the distance that light travels, through vacuum, in one julian year.   that's 365.25 days, of 24 hours each.
