two long parallel wires carry currents of 10 a and 5.0 a in the same directions. the wire is separated by 10 cm. what is the strength of the magnetic field midway between the two wires? ()



Answer :

The strength of the magnetic field is 4x10^-2 T

What is Magnetic Field?

A magnetic field is a vector field that describes the magnetic influence on moving charges, currents, and magnetic materials. A moving charge in a magnetic field is subjected to a force that is perpendicular to both its own velocity and the magnetic field.

Magnetic field at O due to wire 1,  B1 = UoI1/2pid;

where d = 5 cm

B1 = u0(10)/2pi(5)

Magnetic field at O due to wire 2,

B2 = uo I2/2pid

B2 = u0(5)/2pi(5)

The net magnetic field at O Bo = B2-B1

uo(10-5)/2pi(5)

B0 = (4pi x10^-7)(5)/2pi(5)

= 4x10^-2 T.
Therefore the answer is 4x10^-2 T
