    Series and Parallel aren't very useful descriptions here. The wires attract when the currents are flowing in the same direction. And they repel when the currents flow in opposite directions.

      This does not matter because the magnetic field does not extend to infinity; it has limits where it ends and where its impact fades away. And if we spaced between the two wires for a distance, it will not happen repulsion and attraction between the two wires will pass the current naturally and we will not be able to see this experiment.

    • @aurelia8028
      @aurelia8028 Год назад +1

      @@mohammedhassankorna Wrong. The magnetic field _does_ extend to infinity. In cylindrical coordinates; when you have a steady current I_0 flowing in the z-directions (like the current in the wire does), the moving charges will create a magnetic field that circles around the wire (in the θ-direction). The magnetic field is given as B(s)=I_0*μ0/(2π*s), where μ0 is the vacuum permeability and s is the radial distance from the wire.

    strange, if you have two electrons stationary , they repel each other (static force), but if you take these same two electrons and shoot them down a parallel path, they then attract each other (two parallel line currents in same direction).
    if two static electrons are placed north and south on the earth, shouldn't the electrons attract each other since the are both travelling parallel due to the direction of the earth's rotation (parallel line currents) ?

      For your hypothetical, the classical answer is that they're both stationary relative to the earth (in the same way that we don't "feel" like the earth is rotating). But that answer just leads to another question: if they're moving parallel through a wire at the same velocity, aren't they stationary relative to each other?
      The real answer comes from relativity. Einstein showed that magnetism (the effect that pulls the wires) is just another aspect of electricity (the force that pushes like charges apart), but it can only be understood this way using special relativity, and is not intuitive. Unfortunately I don't really understand this at a deeper level, so I can't answer any follow-up questions. But I hope this at least gives you another path to search.

  • @QuaziGNRLNose
    @QuaziGNRLNose 11 лет назад +2

    there is no 'electric field' in the electrostatic sense, only a movement of electrons (current) through a wire made of an equal number of protons (thus the net static charge in our frame of reference is 0). The effect is purely magnetic. Magnetism however, is simply the effects of relativity making it so the moving electric charges are length contracted, and the 'magnetic field' is simply a name for the relativistic dilation of what would be called an 'electric field' in a electrostatics.

  • @chanakyasinha8046
    @chanakyasinha8046 5 лет назад

    So thats the reason why temp rises with increase in current in a conductor, the charge flowing in the same direction feels the force for unification and during this event it produces more and more vibration due to which thermal energy rises, moreover, i think if we accelerate the charge (same) to close to the speed of light, the charge will be, wait what!! Is that the reason why the charge particle don't chase the speed of light, because it will become more and more heavy, it gain inertia and tries to lower the magnitude of charge 😭😭😭😭😭🤣🤣😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

  • @arunraj3160
    @arunraj3160 12 лет назад

    but there is an electric field also..so equal charges always repel each other...current means flow of electrons...so how is it possible?

    • @TechTins_Projects
      @TechTins_Projects 7 лет назад +1

      No one really fully understands the reason. But its been observed and hence now used for all sorts of things by engineers etc. The observation that was first spotted was by people such as Micheal Faraday. What they did was took a wire and let charge flow through it, unexpectedly a magnetic field was seen to be produced around the wire all the while current was flowing through the wire. So when two wires are in close proximity (depending on direction of currents) they will either feel a magnetic repulsion or attraction. So your not alone in not understanding, no one does. It has a name electromagnetism and it is what has been called a fundamental law of nature, because it is not understood by anyone at a fundamental level. Lots of interesting theories but no one really knows the full story. Its one of natures most wonderful mysteries. And this experiment shows its effects in the simplest way possible.

    • @TechTins_Projects
      @TechTins_Projects 7 лет назад

      No one really knows. Hence they have described the electromagnetic force as a fundamental force of nature. In others words magnetism (strictly electromagnetism) is a fundamental force we don't fully understand but have measured. Lots of theories but no one knows exactly why it exists. But knowing that it does exist and its strength enables experimenters and engineers to utilize it.
      Basically magnetism is produced when ever charge is in motion. Even static magnets have electrons inside them that have what in "quantum theory" is described as spin and such spin is charge in motion. But "quantum theory" is just a theory, no one knows exactly what is happening at that level. The current idea is that magnetic force is really a relativistic effect and are essentially just side ways produced electric fields when charges are in motion.

    Better to call away from the viewer "Push" and toward the viewer "Pull."
