Question

(10%) Problem 11: Consider two current-carrying wires, separated by a distance d = 2.5 cm, as shown in the figure. The left wire is directed out of the page with current I1, and the right wire is directed into the page with current I2. The point P is a distance d from both wires, so the wires and the point form an equilateral triangle. 50% Part (a) If both wires are carrying a current of 4.5 A, what is the magnitude of the magnetic field, in tesla, at point P? 50% Part (b) If the current from the first wire is 4.5 A and the current from the second is 12.5 A, what is the magnitude of the magnetic field, in tesla, at point P?

Step 1

5 A Distance between the wires, d = 2.3 cm = 0.023 m Using the formula for magnetic field due to a current-carrying wire: B1 = (μ0 * I1) / (2π * d) Substitute the values: B1 = (4π * 10^-7 * 4.5) / (2π * 0.023) B1 = (1.8 * 10^-6) / (0.046) B1 = 3.913 * 10^-5 T Show more…
