Question

Part B The same amount of current I is flowing through two wires, labeled 1 and 2 in the figure, in the directions indicated by the arrows. In this problem you will determine the direction of the net magnetic field Bnet at each of the indicated points (A- C). (Figure 1) What is the direction of the magnetic field Bnet at point A? View Available Hint(s) Bpoints out of the screen at A. R points into the screen at A net Bnet points neither out of nor into the screen and Bnet0 at A Bnet0 at A.

Explanation / Answer

B) Bnet = 0 at A

because, wire1 produce magnetic field into the page and wire2 produce magnetic field out of the page.

these two fields are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.

so, Bnet = 0

C) Bnet points into the screen at C.

because, wire1 produce magnetic field into the page and wire2 produce magnetic field into the page at point C

these two fields are equal in magnitude and in the direction.

so, Bnet = B1 + B2
