Magnetic Force on Current-Carrying Wire
28. Magnetic Fields and Forces / Magnetic Force on Current-Carrying Wire / Problem 4
Three identical wires with a linear mass density of 25 g/m are assembled to form an isosceles triangle with a base angle of 45 degrees. The currents are equal, and the directions are as shown. The two base wires have a separation of 1.5 cm and are fixed to a bench. Calculate the value of the current that causes the top wire to get suspended, forming a base angle of 45 degrees.
