Two long parallel wires are a center-to-center distance of 1.30 cm apart and carry equal anti-parallel currents of 2.40 A. Find the magnitude of the magnetic field at the point P which is equidistant from the wires. (R = 5.00 cm).

19.04 × 10⁻⁴ T in the +x direction

Explanation:

We are told that the point P which is equidistant from the wires. (R = 5.00 cm). Thus distance from each wire to O is R.

Hence, the magnetic field at P from each wire would be; B = μ₀I/(2πR)

We are given;

I = 2.4 A

R = 5 cm = 0.05 m

μ₀ is a constant = 4π × 10⁻⁷ H/m

B = (4π × 10⁻⁷ × 2.4)/(2π × 0.05)

B = 9.6 × 10⁻⁴ T

To get the direction of the field from each wire, we will use Flemings right hand rule.

From the diagram attached:

We can say the field at P from the top wire will point up/right

Also, the field at P from the bottom wire will point down/right

Thus, by symmetry, the y components will cancel out leaving the two equal x components to act to the right.

If the mid-point between the wires is M, the the angle this mid point line to P makes with either A or B should be same since P is equidistant from both wires.

Let the angle be θ

Thus;

sin(θ) = (1.3/2)/5

θ = sin⁻¹(0.13) = 7.47⁰

The x component of each field would be:

9.6 × 10⁻⁴cos(7.47) = 9.52 × 10⁻⁴ T

Thus, total field = 2 × 9.52 × 10⁻⁴ = 19.04 × 10⁻⁴ T in the +x direction

the moon affects the earth gravitation ally, causing certain motions of that body and also producing tides in its ocean and atmosphere. the tidal wave in our atmosphere is, however, far too minute to be an effective cause in any known meteorological phenomenon.
