- Two long parallel conductors \(S_{1}\) and \(S_{2}\) are separated by a distance \(10 \,cm\) and carrying currents of \(4\, A\) and \(2 \,A\) respectively. The conductors are placed along \(x\)-axis in \(X - Y\) plane. There is a point \(P\) located between the conductors (as shown in figure). A charge particle of \(3 \pi\) coulomb is passing through the point \(P\) with velocity \(\overrightarrow{ v }=(2 \hat{ i }+3 \hat{ j }) \,m / s\); where \(\hat{i}\) and \(\hat{j} \quad\) represents unit vector along \(x\) and \(y\) axis respectively.
