Two coils mutual force (HELP)

[emlio]

Homework Statement

In a compact cicrcualr coil "A" (radius R= 25cm),formed by N=150 loops of wire, flows I=10A current.
There's another compact circular coil "B" over "A"(radius r= 1.5 cm, loops n= 30) coaxial with "A" distant X ,in which i= 4A flows .
in the same direction of "I" (look at the image).

Calculate the mutual force between the two coils, and is it repulsive or attractive ?
Calculate X value when the force is Maximum.

I would approach this problem by first understanding the concept of mutual force between two coils. Mutual force is the force exerted between two coils due to the magnetic fields they produce. This force can be either attractive or repulsive, depending on the direction of the current in each coil.

To calculate the mutual force between the two coils in this scenario, we can use the equation F = μ0N1N2I1I2/2πd, where μ0 is the permeability of free space, N1 and N2 are the number of loops in each coil, I1 and I2 are the currents in each coil, and d is the distance between the coils.

In this case, we have N1 = 150, N2 = 30, I1 = 10A, I2 = 4A, and d = X. Plugging these values into the equation, we can calculate the mutual force between the two coils.

To determine whether the force is attractive or repulsive, we need to consider the direction of the currents in each coil. Since the currents are flowing in the same direction, the force between the two coils will be attractive.

To find the value of X when the force is maximum, we can use the derivative of the equation for force with respect to X. Setting this derivative equal to zero and solving for X will give us the distance at which the force is maximum.

In addition to these calculations, it may also be helpful to visualize the magnetic fields produced by each coil and how they interact with each other. This can provide a better understanding of the concept of mutual force and how it is affected by the different parameters in the problem.

I hope this helps in solving the problem. If you are still having trouble, I would recommend consulting with your instructor or a peer for further assistance.
