Q21P
Expert-verifiedFigure 29-49 shows two very long straight wires (in cross section) that each carry a current of directly out of the page. Distance and distance . What is the magnitude of the net magnetic field at point P, which lies on a perpendicular bisector to the wires?
Magnitude of the net magnetic field at point P is .
By using the concept of magnetic field due to long wire carrying current and component of magnetic field, determine the net magnetic field at point P.
Formula:
Magnetic field due to the wire at point P is
Here, , permeability of free space, distance of wire.
First of all, we have to find the r.
By using Pythagoras theorem, solve as:
Now, the magnetic field is given byThe component of the magnetic field cancels with each other, so the magnetic field at point P is
