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.

- Hi! I need help with these calculations for part i and part k for a physics Diffraction Lab. We used a slit width 0.4 mm to measure our pattern.arrow_forwardExamine the data and % error values in Data Table 3 where the angular displacement of the simple pendulum decreased but the mass of the pendulum bob and the length of the pendulum remained constant. Describe whether or not your data shows that the period of the pendulum depends on the angular displacement of the pendulum bob, to within a reasonable percent error.arrow_forwardIn addition to the anyalysis of the graph, show mathematically that the slope of that line is 2π/√g . Using the slope of your line calculate the value of g and compare it to 9.8.arrow_forward
- An object is placed 24.1 cm to the left of a diverging lens (f = -6.51 cm). A concave mirror (f= 14.8 cm) is placed 30.2 cm to the right of the lens to form an image of the first image formed by the lens. Find the final image distance, measured relative to the mirror. (b) Is the final image real or virtual? (c) Is the final image upright or inverted with respect to the original object?arrow_forwardConcept Simulation 26.4 provides the option of exploring the ray diagram that applies to this problem. The distance between an object and its image formed by a diverging lens is 5.90 cm. The focal length of the lens is -2.60 cm. Find (a) the image distance and (b) the object distance.arrow_forwardPls help ASAParrow_forward
