Question

use the biot savart to compute the magnetic field at the center of a matalic ring. the ring has a radius of 10^-6 m and is connected to two infinite wires. the current in the wires is 1 ampere. the ring is lying in the [x,y,z=0] plane. the first wire is attached to the ring at x=0,y=10^-6 m, z=0 and the current flows in the +y direction. the second wire is attached to the ring at x=0,y=-10^-6 m, z=0 and the current flows in the +y direction. compute the magnetic field at the center of the ring [x=0,y=0,z=0].
indicate the value of the magnetic field and direction?

Explanation / Answer

Because the wires are running parallel to each other, the magnetic field between them will be zero, and thus the strength of the magnetic field at the center of the loop is 0.
