Two long straight parallel wires P and Q are situated a distance apart, as illustrated in the figure below.
The current in wire P is . The current in wire Q is
. The magnetic flux density
at a distance
from a long straight wire carrying current
is given by the expression
where is the permeability of free space. Calculate:
the magnetic flux density at wire Q due to the current in wire P
the force per unit length, in , acting on wire Q due to the current in wire P.
