Question
Two parallel copper rods supply power to a high-energy experiment, carrying the same current in opposite directions. The rods are held 8.0 cm apart by insulating blocks mounted every 1.5 m. If each block can tolerate a maximum tension force of 200 N, what is the maximum allowable current

Answer:
the maximum allowable current is 7302.967 amperl
Explanation:
The computation of the maximum allowable current is shown below;
Force F = mean ÷ 4π 2 I_1 I_2 ÷d × ΔL
200 N = (10)^-7 (2I × I) ÷ 0.08 × 1.5
200 = 3.75 × 10^-6 I^2
I = √200 ÷ √ 3.75 × 10^-6
= 7302.967 amperl
Hence, the maximum allowable current is 7302.967 amperl
Basically we applied the above formula
