a.
Whether the magnetic fields by two parallel wires carrying current in the opposite direction be larger or smaller than individual fields of the wires.
a.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
When
A current carrying wire generates a magnetic field around the wire the direction of which can be found by Maxwell’s right hand rule. It states that when the thumb points towards the direction of the current the right hand fingers represent the direction of the magnetic field. The two wires carrying current in opposite direction will generate magnetic fields in the same direction as determined by the right hand rule. Hence, the magnetic field will be large anywhere between the two parallel wires.
Conclusion:
The magnetic field will be large anywhere between the two parallel wires.
a.
The point where the magnetic field will be twice as large as from one wire.
a.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
When electric current flows through a wire, magnetic field is generated around the wire. The direction of the field is determined by Maxwell’s right hand rule. Two magnetic fields interact in such a way that opposite poles attract and vice versa.
A current carrying wire generates a magnetic field around the wire the direction of which can be found by Maxwell’s right hand rule. It states that when the thumb points towards the direction of the current the right hand fingers represent the direction of the magnetic field. The two wires carrying current in opposite direction will generate magnetic fields in the same direction as determined by the right hand rule. Hence, the magnetic field will be twice as large along a line equidistant from the wires.
Conclusion:
The magnetic field will be twice as large along a line equidistant from the wires.

- 9. Some 1800 years ago Roman soldiers effectively used slings as deadly weapons. The length of these slings averaged about 81 cm and the lead shot that they used weighed about 30 grams. If in the wind up to a release, the shot rotated around the Roman slinger with a period of .15 seconds. Find the maximum acceleration of the shot before being released in m/s^2 and report it to two significant figures.arrow_forwardIn the movie Fast X, a 10100 kg round bomb is set rolling in Rome. The bomb gets up to 17.6 m/s. To try to stop the bomb, the protagonist Dom swings the counterweight of a crane, which has a mass of 354000 kg into the bomb at 3.61 m/s in the opposite direction. Directly after the collision the crane counterweight continues in the same direction it was going at 2.13 m/s. What is the velocity (magnitude and direction) of the bomb right after the collision?arrow_forwardDon't use aiarrow_forward

Little Mac, who is a boxer, dashes forward at 26.6 m/s, fist first. Byleth moves in the opposite direction at 3.79 m/s, where they collide with Little Mac’s fist. After the punch Byleth flies backwards at 11.1 m/s. How fast, and in what direction, is Little Mac now moving? Little Mac has a mass of 48.5 kg and Byleth has a mass of 72.0 kg.arrow_forward

Kirby then begins to inhale, swallowing Meta Knight. What is Kirby/Meta Knight’s velocity immediately after being swallowed? Please put the magnitude of the velocity and then mark direction using dropdown menu. Kirby has a mass of 0.283 kg and Meta Knight has a mass of 0.538 kg.arrow_forward
