Two electrons move in parallel direction, at distance
r apart with speed
=v Let it move 'dx', So,
dx=vdt.
Current generated due to flow of charges:
I=edt, for both ....(1)
Electric force experienced, (from coulomb's law) by either charge-
Fe=1L1π∈oe2r2 ...(2)
The force per unit length due to generated magnetic field will be:-
f=μ0I22πr
So, magnetic force on a electron,
Fm=fdx=μ0I2L1πr2(dx)2 [assuming it provides centripetal force]
⇒Fm=μoV2L1πr2(e2) ...(3) [From (1)]
Taking ratio of (2) & (3)
FeFm=1μ0∈0V2=c2V2 [as,c2=1μ0∈0]
