Answer #1

given :

current = i = 12 A

distance = d = 4cm = 0.04 m

suppose the length of the wires is L.

Magnetic field due to current carrying long straight wire is [ d = distance of point where filed is calculated]

Magnetic force on current carrying straight wire is F = iLB.

therefore,

magnetic force per unit length = F/L = iB =

Magnetic force per unit length on the wire is [answer]
