Calculate the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field at point $P$ due to the current in the semicircular section of wire shown in Fig. E28.32. (Hint: Does the current in the long, straight section of the wire produce any field at $P ?$ )
Added by Alvaro B.
Step 1
Step 1: The current in the long, straight section of the wire does not produce any magnetic field at point $P$ because the magnetic field produced by a straight current-carrying wire is perpendicular to the wire itself. Show more…

Calculate the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field at point $P$ due to the current in the semicircular section of wire shown in Fig. E28. 36. (Hint: Does the current in the long, straight section of the wire produce any field at $P ?$
Calculate the magnetic field (magnitude and direction) at a point $P$ due to a current $I =$ 12.0 A in the wire shown in $\textbf{Fig. P28.68}$. Segment $BC$ is an arc of a circle with radius 30.0 cm, and point $P$ is at the center of curvature of the arc. Segment $DA$ is an arc of a circle with radius 20.0 cm, and point $P$ is at its center of curvature. Segments $CD$ and $AB$ are straight lines of length 10.0 cm each.
