Question

The figure below shows two long, straight wires in the xy plane and parallel to the x axis. One wire is at y = -6.0 cm and the other wire is at y = +6.0 cm. The current in each wire is 21 A. If the currents are both in the -x direction, find the magnetic field at the following points on the y axis. (a) y = -2.5 cm mu T hat{k} (b) y = 0 mu T hat{k} (c) y = +2.5 cm mu T hat{k} (d) y = +7.2 cm mu T hat{k}

The figure below shows two long, straight wires in the xy plane and parallel to the x-axis. One wire is at y = 6.0 cm and the other wire is at y = 6 cm. The current in each wire is 21 A. If the currents are both in the x-direction, find the magnetic field at the following points on the axis: a) y = +60 cm b) y = -2.5 cm c) y = 0 cm d) y = +2.5 cm e) y = +7.2 cm
