JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 4. Moving charges and magnetism

Two long parallel wires \(X\) and \(Y\), separated by a distance of 6 cm , carry currents of 5A and 4A, respectively, in opposite directions as shown in the figure. Magnitude of the resultant magnetic field at point P at a distance of 4 cm from wire Y is \(x \times 10^{-5} \mathrm{~T}\). The value of \(x\) is__________ . Take permeability of free space as \(\mu_0=4 \pi \times 10^{-7} \mathrm{SI}\) units.

  1. A 5
  2. B 4
  3. C 3
  4. D 1

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 1

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned} & B=\frac{\mu_0(5)}{2 \pi \times .01}-\frac{\mu_0 4}{2 \pi \times 0.04} \\ & =-\frac{100 \mu_0}{4 \pi} \\ & =-100 \times 10^{-7} \\ & =-1 \times 10^{-5} \mathrm{~T}\end{aligned}\)
