Magnetic Field Between Two Wires
Part 1

Determine the magnitude of the magnetic field midway between two long straight wires 2.00 cm apart when one wire carries 4.10 A and the other carries 15.8 A. Assume these currents are in the same direction.

Solution:

When the two wires are carrying current in the same direction, the magnetic fields are pointed in the direction as shown. They point in different directions. So, the magnitude of the resulting magnetic ...
