Exercise 27.19: Fusion Reactor

If two deuterium nuclei (charge , mass ) get close enough together, the attraction of the strong nuclear force will fuse them to make an isotope of helium, releasing vast amounts of energy. The range of this force is about . This is the principle behind the fusion reactor. The deuterium nuclei are moving much too fast to be contained by physical walls, so they are confined magnetically. Part A How fast would two nuclei have to move so that in a head-on collision they would get close enough to fuse? (Treat the nuclei as point charges, and assume that a separation of is required for fusion.) Express your answer using two significant figures. ANSWER: = 8.4106

Part A What is the direction of the net magnetic force on each wire due to the other two wires? ANSWER:

wire #1 upward, wire #2 zero force, wire #3 downward wire #1 upward, wire #2 zero force, wire #3 upward wire #1 upward, wire #2 upward, wire #3 downward wire #1 downward, wire #2 upward, wire #3 downward wire #1 downward, wire #2 zero force, wire #3 downward wire #1 upward, wire #2 downward, wire #3 upward wire #1 downward, wire #2 zero force, wire #3 upward wire #1 downward, wire #2 downward, wire #3 upward Correct

The force per unit length on each of two long wires separated by a distance and has magnitude

and carrying currents

The force is attractive if the two currents are in the same direction and repulsive if the currents are in opposite directions. In this situation the current is the same in all three wires, so Wire #1 feels an upward (repulsive) force from wire #2, for which force from wire #3, for which , and a downward (attractive)

. The net force is upward, since wire #2 is closer to wire #1 and so

exerts a greater force. Wire #2 feels a downward (repulsive) force from wire #1 and an upward (repulsive) force from wire #3. For each force , so the two forces on wire #2 have the same magnitude and hence cancel. Thus, the net force on wire #2 is zero. Wire #3 feels an upward (attractive) force from wire #1, for which force from wire #2, for which so exerts a greater force. , and a downward (repulsive)

. The net force is downward, since wire #2 is closer to wire #3 and
