  1. Derive an expression for the force between two long parallel current carrying conductors.
  2. Use this expression to define $S.I.$ unit of current.
  3. $A$ long straight wire $AB$ carries a current $I. A$ proton $P$ travels with a speed $v,$ parallel to the wire, at a distance $d$ from it in a direction opposite to the current as shown in the figure. What is the force experienced by the proton and what is its direction?

Answer

  1.  

Two long parallel conductors $'a\ '$ and $'b\ '$ are separated by $a$ distance $d$ and carry $($parallel$)$ currents $I_a$ and $I_b,$ respectively.
The conductor $'a\ '$ produces, the same magnetic field $B_a$ at all points along the conductor $'b\ ' .$
$\text{B}_{a} = \frac{\mu_{0}\text{I}_{a}}{2\pi\text{d}}$
$F_{ba},$ is the force on a segment $L$ of $'b\ '$ due to $'a\ '.$
The magnitude of this force is given by
$F_{ba}= I_b LB_a$
$=\frac{\mu_{0}\text{I}_{a}\text{I}_{b}}{2\pi\text{d}}\text{L}$
  1. The ampere is the value of that steady current which, when maintained in each of the two very long, straight, parallel conductors of negligible cross $-$ section, and placed one metre apart in vacuum, would produce on each of these conductors a force equal to $2 \times 10^{–7}$ newton per metre of length.
  2. Magnetic field due to the straight wire $AB$ at a perpendicular distance $d$ from it.
$\text{B} = \frac{\mu_{0}\text{I}}{2\pi\text{d}}$
Therefore, force on proton moving with velocity $'v\ '$ perpendicular to $B,$  is
$\text{f} = \text{qvB} = \frac{\mu_{0}\text{Iqv}}{2\pi\text{d}}$
Direction: Towards right.
