If I have two large cunducting bars (not the same size) that are separated by a distance D but connected with another conductor in between creating a "U" shape and apply a large current through it, how can I calculate the magnetic forces between the two large ends of the "U" shape?
I have already looked at it as two conductors parallel to one another (looking past the fact that they are connected) and came up with some numbers for the mag field and force between them. The forces should always be repelling the bars apart from one another in this case as it is single phase AC current in the shape of a "U".
I am just trying to find what type of reinforcement I need between them in order for them to not blow apart when I exert a very high current through the system.
