PhysicsInteger+4 / -1Question 57 of 90

Two 10 cm long, straight wires, each carrying a current of 5 A are kept parallel to each other. If each wire experienced a force of $10^{-5}$ N, then separation between the wires is ______ cm.

Your answer

Answer and worked solution

Official answer: 5

Force between wires. $F=\dfrac{\mu_0I^2l}{2\pi d}$ , so $d=\dfrac{2\times10^{-7}\times25\times0.1}{10^{-5}}=0.05$ m $=5$ cm.

Answer: 5
