The magnetic field at point P due to both the wires.
Answer to Problem 33P
The net magnetic field at point P due to both the wires is
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The given figure is shown below.
Both thin parallel wires are 13 cm apart carrying 25 A currents in the same direction. Distance from both the wires to point P is 12 cm and 5 cm.
Formula used:
The magnetic field due to the current in the wire is given by
Calculation:
Consider the figure shown below.
The magnetic field from the closer wire is
And, the magnetic field from the farther wire is
Now, the angle of the line joining both the wires and the farther wire with the point P is
Using angle and the individual magnetic field, the magnetic field in the horizontal and vertical direction can be calculated such as
Thus, the net magnetic field on the point P will be
Conclusion:
The net magnetic field at point P due to both the wires is
