Two long, straight wires separated by 10.0 cm carry currents of 18 A and 6.0 A i

Question

Two long, straight wires separated by 10.0 cm carry currents of 18 A and 6.0 A in

       the same direction as shown.

a)     Determine the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field at point P.

b)    Is the magnitude of the net field at point P greater than, less than, or equal to the magnitude of the net field at point Q?

c)     Determine the magnitude and direction of the magnetic force applied on an electron located at point P when it moves to the right with a speed of

      5.0 x 106 m/s. (e = 1.6 x 10-19C)

Two long, straight wires separated by 10.0 cm carry currents of 18 A and 6.0 A in the same direction as shown. Determine the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field at point P. Is the magnitude of the net field at point P greater than, less than, or equal to the magnitude of the net field at point Q? Determine the magnitude and direction of the magnetic force applied on an electron located at point P when it moves to the right with a speed of 5.0 times 106 m/s. (e = 1.6 times 10-19C)

Explanation / Answer

a.) upward and 4.8 *10^-5 T

b.) magnitube of net field at P is greater than that at Q.
