Magnetic Force Between Parallel Currents definitions Flashcards

A region around a current-carrying wire where magnetic forces can be detected.

A method to determine the direction of magnetic field lines around a current-carrying wire.

The force experienced by two parallel currents due to each other's magnetic fields.

The flow of electric charge through a conductor, typically measured in amperes.

The separation between two parallel wires, affecting the magnetic force between them.

The force experienced by a wire per meter of its length in a magnetic field.

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction, applicable to forces between wires.

The force that pushes two wires apart when currents flow in opposite directions.

The force that pulls two wires together when currents flow in the same direction.

The permeability of free space, a constant used in calculating magnetic fields.

A trigonometric function used in calculating the magnetic force on a wire.

The measurement of a wire's extent, affecting the magnetic force it experiences.

The force exerted on a current-carrying wire in a magnetic field.

A mathematical constant used in the formula for magnetic fields around wires.

The principle that forces between two wires are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.
