JEE Main & Advanced Physics Magnetic Effects of Current / करंट का चुंबकीय प्रभाव Question Bank Force and Torque on a Current Carrying Conductor

  • question_answer
    Two parallel wires in free space are 10 cm apart and each carries a current of 10 A in the same direction. The force one wire exerts on the other per metre of length is                    [CBSE PMT 1997; AFMC 1999]

    A)            \[2\times {{10}^{-4}}N\], attractive                               

    B)            \[2\times {{10}^{-4}}N\], repulsive

    C)            \[2\times {{10}^{-7}}N\], attractive                               

    D)            \[2\times {{10}^{-7}}N\], repulsive

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

               \[F=\frac{{{\mu }_{0}}}{4\pi }\frac{2{{i}_{1}}{{i}_{2}}}{a}={{10}^{-7}}\times \frac{2\times 10\times 10}{0.1}=2\times {{10}^{-4}}N\] Direction of current is same, so force is attractive.
