Electromagnetism Basics
.. |
In a conductor when electrons
flow, i.e the current flows there is a magnetic field
developed across the conductor.
The mutual force that exists
between two parallel current-carrying conductors will be
proportional to the product of the currents in the two
conductors and the length of the conductors but inversely
proportional to their separation.
In the below equation, i1 and i2
are the currents in the two conductors (in Amperes), L is
the parallel length of the conductors (in meters), D is the
distance separating the two conductors (in meters), F is the
force (in Newton's), and k is a constant.
F= k. i1.i2 L/D
Right Hand rule

With the thumb, index, and middle fingers
at right angles to each other (with the index finger pointed
straight),
the middle finger points in the direction
of c when the thumb represents a and the index finger
represents b.
