Question

Two long, parallel wires are separated by a distance 2 d, as shown below. Wire #1 carries a steady current I into the plane of the page while wire #2 carries a steady current I out of the page. At what points in the plane of the page (besides points at infinity), is the magnetic field due to the currents zero? At all points on the line SS', a perpendicular bisector of a line connecting the two wires. At only point P. At all points on the line connecting the two wires. At no points. At all points on a circle of radius d centered at either wire.

Explanation / Answer

in betwen the wire#1 and wire#2

the magnetic field due to wire#1 is directed downwards

the magnetic field due to wire#2 is directed downwards

the two field will add (B1 + B2 ) and cannot become zero
