Chapter 22: Q21CQ (page 809)

Is the force attractive or repulsive between the hot and neutral lines hung from power poles? Why?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Force will be repulsive between the hot and neutral lines hung from power poles.

Step by step solution

01

Hot and Neutral lines

The "hot" wire is in black color which carries electricity from the breaker panel to the switch or light source.

The "neutral" wire is in white color that returns any unneeded electricity and current to the breaker panel.

02

Force between hot and neutral lines

The hotline is the line that carries current through it but the neutral line does not.
This indicates that current will be induced in the neutral line as a result of the hot line’s electric field.
The current will flow in the opposite direction resulting in a repulsive force between the lines.

Therefore, the force will be repulsive between the hot and neutral lines hung from power poles.
