Question

 

in the figure, the two long straight wires are separated by a distance of d=0.60m . The currents are I1=7.0A

 the right in the upper wire and  I2=8.0Ato the left in the lower wire. What is the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field at point P , that is a distance d/2=0.30m below the lower wire? (Note: ) 0=4 x 10-7 T*m/a

A)   The   magnitude of the magnetic field is __________________T

 

  to the right on the plane of the screen   to the left on the plane of the screen   upward on the plane of the screen   downward on the plane of the screen   into the plane of the screen   out of the plane of the screen

Explanation / Answer

PART A ; 

B = [ 0/2 ] [ - I1 / r1 + I2/r2  ]  ; 

B = [ 0/2 ] [ 8 / 0.3  - 7/( 0.3+0.6)  ] ;     + ve maens out of the plane  ;

B = 3.77e -6   T  <----------ans    <-----------magnitude 

since the answer is positive ,

the field is out of the page ,   <---------parT B    ( or out of plane of screen )
