How Do Magnetic Fields Influence Current-Carrying Wires?

AI Thread Summary
Magnetic fields significantly influence current-carrying wires, particularly in terms of the forces they exert on each other. The discussion revolves around the interpretation of a specific problem related to magnetic waves and their behavior around wires. One participant believes the answer is D, reasoning that only half a magnetic wave is present inside the wires, as it resembles a sine wave. The conversation invites further insights on the forces between current-carrying wires and relevant equations. Additional information on magnetic waves and their effects on wires is sought to enhance understanding.

Dont think so.

The Attempt at a Solution


I get D, the answer is D. I think it is D because only half a magnetic wave would appear on the inside of the wires as it is a sine wave. If you have more information on answering the question, please help me out.

Hello Eliza, :welcome:

Is there anything you've learned about forces between current carrying wires ? If so, please mention the relevant equations under 2.

If there is anything you've learned about magnetic waves "appearing on a particular side of the wires", I would be very interested too.

Oh, and please read the guidelines

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanged mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
