Two long parallel wires carry currents \(5A\) and \(2A\) and are separated by \(0.2m\). Find the force per unit length between them.
Two long parallel wires carry currents \(5A\) and \(2A\) and are separated by \(0.2m\). Find the force per unit length between them.
Show Hint
The force per unit length between two parallel currents is directly proportional to the product of currents and inversely proportional to their separation.

- A particle of charge \( q \) is moving with a velocity \( \vec{v} \) at a distance \( d \) from a long straight wire carrying a current \( I \) as shown in the figure. At this instant, it is subjected to a uniform electric field \( \vec{E} \) such that the particle keeps moving undeviated. In terms of unit vectors \( \hat{i}, \hat{j}, \) and \( \hat{k} \), find:
the magnetic field \( \vec{B} \),
the magnetic force \( \vec{F}_m \), and
the electric field \( \vec{E} \) acting on the charge.
