Question

The two wires shown in the figure below are separated by d = 10. 4 cm and carry currents of I = 4. 85 A in opposite directions. Find the magnitude and direction of the net magnetic field at a point midway between the wires. magnitude muT direction Find the magnitude and direction of the net magnetic field at point P1, 10. 4 cm to the right of the wire on the right. magnitude muT direction Find the magnitude and direction of the net magnetic field at point P2, 2d = 20. 8 cm to the left of the wire on the left. magnitude muT direction

Explanation / Answer

a) B = 2*(I/d) = (2*4**10-7*4.85)/(*0.104) = 37.3077T, Into the page.

b) B = (I/2d) - (I/4d) = I/4d = (4**10-7*4.85)/(4**0.104) = 4.6635T, Out of the page.

c) B = (I/4d) - (I/6d) = (I/12d) = (4**10-7*4.85)/(12**0.104) = 1.5545T, Out of the page.
