Question

The two wires shown in the figure below are separated by d = 11.7 cm and carry currents of I = 4.95 A in opposite directions. (a) Find the magnitude and direction of the net magnetic field at a point midway between the wires, magnitude mu T direction b) Find the magnitude and direction of the net magnetic field at point P1, 11.7 cm to the right of the wire on the right, magnitude mu T direction (c) Find the magnitude and direction of the net magnetic field at point P2, 2d = 23.4 cm to the left of the wire on the left, magnitude mu T direction

Explanation / Answer

(B = mu_0I/2pi r) a) 33.846uT b) 4.231uT c) 1.410uT
