A long horizontal wire carries a current of 48 A. A second wire, made of 2.7 mm diameter copper wire and parallel to the first, is kept in suspension magnetically 15 cm below. Determine the magnitude of the current in the lower wire. Determine the direction of the current in the lower wire. IS IT IN STABLE EQUILIBRIUM?
Solutions
Expert Solution
Magnetic force between two wire separated by a distance r is given by
where i1 and i2 are the current through the wires.
The second wire is in suspension magnetically.
Hence the magnetic force between the wires must be equal to the weight of the 2nd wire.
To support the 2nd wire situated below magnetic force must be upwards and hence flow of the current in both the wire must be same and towards the right.
d is the diameter of the wire and l is the length.
Given,
r=15 cm=0.15 m
d=2.7 mm=0.0027 m
i1=48 A
density of copper=8900 kg/m^3
The equilibrium is an unstable one. If the 2nd wire is slightly displaced from the position of equilibrium magnetic force will change and displace the wire further from the equilibrium.

A long, horizontal wire AB rests
on the surface of a table and carries a current I. Horizontal wire CD is vertically above wire AB and is
free to slide up and down on the two vertical metal guides C and D (the

Wire CD is connected through the sliding contacts
to another wire that also carries a current I, opposite in direction to the current in wire AB. The mass per unit length of the wire CD...

A long, straight wire lies on a horizontal table in the
xy-plane and carries a current of 2.50 microA in
the positive x-direction along the x-axis. A
proton is traveling in the negative x-direction at speed
3.1 x 104 m/s a distance d above the wire.

A long straight wire lies on a horizontal table and carries a
current of 0.48 μA. A proton with charge qp = 1.60218 × 10^−19 C
and mass mp = 1.6726 × 10^−27 kg moves parallel to the wire
(opposite the current) with a constant velocity of 12200 m/s at a
distance d above the wire. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8
m/s^2.
Determine this distance of d. You may ignore the magnetic field
due to the Earth.
