Textbook Question
Chapter 20, Problem 69P
Three long, straight electrical cables, running north and south, are tightly enclosed in an insulating sheath. One of the cables carries a 23.0 A current southward; the other two carry currents of 17.5 A and 11.3 A northward. Use Ampere’s law to calculate the magnitude of the magnetic field at a distance of 10.0 m from the cables.
