Question

Rank the magnetic field at point P from greatest to least. Regard a downward pointing field vector as negative and an upointing field as positive. Take into account directions. Assume that each set is independent of all others. Explain your reasoning.

Edit: assume that each wire or point is seperated by the same distance from adjacent items.

Explanation / Answer

Asuming the distance between P and the nearst point are the same for every set.

only magnitude is ranking (no vectors)

B=G>A=F>C=E>D

Following the right hand rule the resultant vector should point in the current direccion.

B and G are the higest since bot magnetici fields point the same direcction.

In a and F ocurrs the same but one wire is farther, so the magnetic fild is lower

C and D, part of the magnetico field from one wire cancells with the magnetic field of the other

finally in D the magnetic fied is null since the both cancells eachother
