Question

Two long straight wires at a separation of d = 16.0 cm carry currents i1 = 3.61 mA and i2 = 3.00i1 out of the page. (a) Where on the x-axis is the net magnetic field equal to zero? (b) If the two currents are doubled, is the zero-field point shifted toward wire 1, shifted toward wire 2, or unchanged?

Step 1

16 - x)} = 0 \] \[ 3.61 \times 10^{-3} \times 10^{-7} \times 10^3 = 3 \times 10^{-3} \times 10^{-7} \times 10^3 \] \[ \frac{3.61}{x} = \frac{3}{0.16 - x} \] \[ 3.61(0.16 - x) = 3x \] \[ 0.5776 - 3.61x = 3x \] \[ 3.61x + 3x = 0.5776 \] \[ 6.61x = 0.5776 \] \[ Show more…
