Question

Two conducting strips, having infinite length in the z direction, lie in the xz plane. One occupies the region d/2 < x < b + d/2 and carries surface current density K=K0az;\mathbf{K}=K_{0} \mathbf{a}_{z}; the other is situated at −(b + d/2) < x < −d/2 and carries surface current density K0az.-K_{0} \mathbf{a}_{z}. (a) Find the force per unit length in z that tends to separate the two strips. (b) Let b approach zero while maintaining constant current, I=K0b,I=K_{0} b, and show that the force per unit length approaches μ0I2/(2πd)N/m.\mu_{0} I^{2} /(2 \pi d) \mathrm{N} / \mathrm{m}.
