Homework Statement

Two long parallel wires carry currents of 2.03 A and 8.83 A. The magnitude of the force per unit length acting on each wire is 4.49*10^5 N/m. Find the separation distance of the wires expressed in millimeters.

Homework Equations

I'm not entirely sure.

The Attempt at a Solution

I thought that I would need to use the formula:
http://latex.codecogs.com/gif.latex?F_{21}=(\mu_0*I_1*I_2*L )/(2\pi d)
I don't have L however, so how do I solve for d?

Actually you have the right formula, just understand the parameters involved and relate to the given problem.

Hint: "The magnitude of the force per unit length acting on each wire is 4.49*10^5 N/m."

So are you suggesting that L=1?
Edit: I tried it with L=1 and it worked. Thanks!

 

[rickz02]

We'll you can say that, but I can also say L=2 and my F = 2.245x10⁵ N/m.

What I want you to understand is that you don't need to know L as you are readily given with F/L.
