Magnetic field due to current in parallel wires
Not what you're looking for?
A long horizontal wire carries a current of It = 49.4 A. A seond wire (I), made of 2.30mm diameter copper wire and parallel to the first but L=17.6cm below it, is held in suspension magnetically. What is the current in the lower wire? use right as positive direction.

Solution Summary
The expert calculates the current in the lower wire.
Solution Preview
Force per unit length between the two wires due to magnetic field of current= (Mu 0 i1 i2 / 2 pi d)
where i1 , i2 are the currents
d is the distance between the wires
This force will support the weight of the ...
