Consider two very long parallel horizontal wires. (draw a diagram, it helps!) - Wire 1 carries 2,745 A of current to the right (→). - Wire 2 carries 2,022 A of current to the left( ←) and is 1.92mm below Wire 1 , - Point A is 0.477mm below Wire 2 (this means Point A is below BOTH wires) The net magnetic field at a Point A is ±0.XXXT. For your answer to this problem: - Give a POSITIVE number if the NET magnetic field is OUT OF THE PAGE - Give a NEGATIVE number if the NET magnetic field is INTO THE PAGE - Give your answer to three sig figs (for example +0.225 or -0.513 or +0.800 ) HINTS: (i) the NET magnetic field is in the range: −1.000T<B<+1.000T (ii) keep extra sig figs until the end
Magnetic field due to straight current carrying wire is By right hand thumb rule, if thumb points in the direction of current then curl of fingers gives the direction of magnetic field.
