In the figure, a wire forms a semicircle of radius R = 10.0 cm and two (radial) straight segments each of length L = 15.0 cm. The wire carries a current i = 21.2 mA. What are the (a) magnitude and (b) direction (into or out of the page) of the net magnetic field at the semicircle's center of curvature C? (a) Number Units (b)
In Fig. $29-37$, a current $i=10 \mathrm{~A}$ is set up in a long hairpin conductor formed by bending a wire into a semicircle of radius $R=5.0 \mathrm{~mm}$. Point $b$ is midway between the straight sections and so distant from the semicircle that each straight section can be approximated as being an infinite wire. What are the (a) magnitude and (b) direction (into or out of the page) of $\vec{B}$ at $a$ and the (c) magnitude and (d) direction of $\vec{B}$ at $b ?$
