Problem 33.42
A long wire carrying a 5.0 A current perpendicular to the xy-plane intersects the x-axis at . A second, parallel wire carrying a 3.0 A current intersects the x-axis at .
Part A
At what point on the x-axis is the magnetic field zero if the two currents are in the same direction?
ANSWER: = 0.0050 m
Part B
At what point on the x-axis is the magnetic field zero if the two currents are in opposite directions?
ANSWER: = 0.08 m
Work:
Notation:
wire #1 = the one on the left and the corresponding field is B1.
wire #2 = the one on the right and the corresponding field is B2.
Using the right hand rule, we can determine the direction of the magnetic field due to the wires in different regions. There are three regions to ...
