Question
There will be no force between two wires carrying currents if currents are:
✓
Answer
- Perpendicular to each other
Force on a current carrying wire placed in a magnetic field is given by F = I (l × B) So when the wires are perpendicular the magnetic field produced by one of them will be along the length of the other and we know cross product of two vectors along the same direction is zero.

A parallel plate air capacitor has capacity ′C′ farad, potential ′V′ volt and energy ′E′ joule. When the gap between the plates is completely filled with dielectric.
A problem of practical interest is to make a beam of electrons turn at $90^\circ$ corner. This can be done with the parallel plates shown in figure. An electron with kinetic energy $8.0 \times 10^{-17}J$ enters through a small hole in the bottom plate. The strength of electric field that is needed if the electron is to emerge from an exit hole $1.0\ cm$ away from the entrance hole, traveling at right angles to its original direction is $........... \times10^5N/ C.$
