Feedback:

The magnetic field at point P is not zero. The wire and the cylindrical shell both produce magnetic fields at point P. The total magnetic field at point P is equal to the vector sum of the fields created by the wire and by the cylindrical shell separately.

where the integral is taken along the dotted path shown in the figure above: first from point P to point R at (x,y) = (0.707d, 0.707d), and then to point S at (x,y) = (0.6d, 0.6d).

Feedback:

The integral of B dot dl from P to S is not zero. You may be thinking of using Ampere law here, but remember that the integral in Ampere law is over a closed path. This integral is from P to S. It is not a closed path. Therefore, there is no meaning to enclosed current. To answer this questin, you do need ot do the integral.

Suppose the magnitude of the current I2 is now doubled. How does the magnitude of the magnetic field at (x,y) = (2.15 cm, 0) change?

B(2.15 cm, 0) increases

B(2.15 cm, 0) decreases

B(2.15 cm, 0) remains the same

Explanation / Answer

a)
Due to symmetry we can draw loop at 31 cm

B(2pi*d) = u0*(I1+I2)

B = u0*(I1+I2) / 2pi*d

=> B = (4pi*10^-7*(-2.1+7.4))/(2pi*0.31)
=> B = 3.42*10^-6 T

b)
Section RS gives 0 since B.dl gives 0
Section PR is 1/8 of complete loop,
So,
B = 1/8 Bdl
= 1/8*u0*I
= 1/8*(4pi*10^-7)*(-2.1+7.4)
= 8.32*10^-7 T

c)
I2_encl = I2(pi(r^2-a^2)/(pi*(b^2-a^2)
= (7.4)(5^2-4.3^2)/(6.2^2-4.3^2)
= 2.415 A

BT = -u0*(I1+I2_encl)/2pi*r
= - 4pi*10^-7*(-2.1+2.415)/(2pi*0.05)
= 1.3*10^-6 T

d)
- 8.32*10^-7 T

e)
Points inside radius are not affected by I2, so remain the same.
