AP EAMCET · PHYSICS · Magnetic Effects of Current

Two long straight parallel conductors \(10 \mathrm{~cm}\) apart, carry equal currents of magnitude \(3 \mathrm{~A}\) in the same direction. Then, the magnetic induction at a point midway between them is

  1. A \(2 \times 10^{-5} \mathrm{~T}\)
  2. B \(3 \times 10^{-5} \mathrm{~T}\)
  3. C zero
  4. D \(4 \times 10^{-5} \mathrm{~T}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) zero

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

At the mid point of two conductors, the magnetic induction. \(B_1=B_2=B\) and \(\vec{B}_1\) is anti \(\|^{\mathrm{r}}\) to \(\vec{B}_2\). Therefore, the net magnetic induction due to two wire at the mid points is \(B_{\mathrm{N}}=B_1-B_2=0\)
