(a) If the equal but opposite current pass the two conductors, find magnitude of the
resulting magnetic field at point (1, 0) in the I - y plane.
(b) At which point would the magnetic field strength be 20% of its value at x = - 0?
(c) Using a computer or by hand, sketch the graph of B(z) from 1 = 0 to z = 3a.
Use this to check your answer in (b).
(d) Repeat (a) with currents passing in the same direction.
(e) WHen is the field B strength maximal for the configuration in (d)?
(f) Using a computer or by hand, sketch the graph of B(1) from 1 = 0 to r = 3a.
Use this to check your answer in (e).
