Two long, parallel wires are separated by a distance of 3.30 cm. The force per unit length that each wire exerts on the other is 5.00×10−5 N/m, and the wires repel each other. The current in one wire is 0.620 A.

a. What is the current in the second wire?
b. Are the two currents in the same direction or in opposite directions?

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Distance between two parallel long wires=r=3.3 cm=

1 m=100 cm

a.We have to find the current in the second wire.

We know that

Using the formula

Where

Hence, the current in the second wire=13.3 A

b.We are given that the wires repel each other.When the current carrying in the wires in opposite direction then, the wires repel to each other.

Hence,the two  currents in opposite directions.

a high pressure system is a dense air mass that is usually cooler and drier than the surrounding air. a low pressure system is a less dense air mass that is usually wetter and warmer than the surrounding air.

in general, areas that experience high atmospheric pressure also experience fair weather. low pressure systems can cause the formation of clouds and storms. air usually flows from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure..

i guess it’s a and b
