There is a long straight wire carrying current i = 497 amperes. at a distance of 0.6 meter away, a small piece of wire (length 1 cm) carries a current of 12 amperes in a direction parallel to the long wire. (a) calculate the value of the b field generated by the long wire at the position of the small wire. b = t (b) using your result for b just found, calculate the force on the small wire. f = n

Given

Current in the long wire I  = 497 A

r = 1.3 m

Length of the small wire , L = 0.01 m

Current in the small wire , i = 12 A

a) Magnetic field given as

 B=0.000076 T

B=7.6 x 10⁻⁵ T

b)

We know that force F given as

F= I B L

The force on the small wire is

F= i . B L

F= 12 x 0.000076  x 0.01

F=912 x 10⁻⁸ N
