Two long parallel conductors carry 100 A. If the conductors are separated by 20 mm, the force per meter of length of each conductor will be_____________?

Correct answer: D. 0.1 N

  • A. 100 N
  • B. 10 N
  • C. 1 N
  • D. 0.1 N

Explanation

For two parallel conductors, force per metre is F/L = μ₀I₁I₂/(2πd). Substitution gives (4π × 10⁻⁷ × 100 × 100)/(2π × 0.02) = 0.1 N/m.
