Two very long, straight, parallel wires and carry currents of and respectively and are at a distance apart, as shown in Figure. lf a third wire (length ) having a current of is placed between them, how much force, will act on ? The direction of current in all the three wires is same.



Important Questions on Magnetic Effect of Current
In Figure, is a rectangular loop made of uniform wire. The length . The sides and are much longer than or . Find the magnetic force per unit length acting on the wire due to the wire if the ammeter reads .

A rectangular loop of wire of size carries a steady current of . A straight long wire carrying current is kept near the loop as shown in Figure. If the loop and the wire are coplanar, find (i) the torque acting on the loop and (ii) the magnitude and direction of the force on the loop due to the current carrying wire.

A square loop of side carrying current of is kept near an infinite long straight wire carrying a current of in the same plane as shown in Figure. Calculate the magnitude and direction of the net force exerted on the loop due to the current carrying conductor.

A rectangular coil is placed in a uniform magnetic field , as shown in Figure. Find the torque on the coil when it carries a current of . The magnitude of the field is .

A galvanometer has a resistance of . It gives a full-scale deflection for a current of . It is to be converted into an ammeter of range . The only shunt resistance available is of , which is not suitable for this conversion. Find the value of resistance that must be connected in series with the galvanometer (Figure) to get ammeter of desired range.

The circuit shown in Figure is used to measure the resistance . The ammeter reads and the voltmeter reads . The resistance of the ammeter is and that of the voltmeter is . Find the value of .
