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

Two long, straight wires carry equal currents in opposite directions as shown in figure. The separation between the wires is \(5.0 \mathrm{~cm}\). The magnitude of the magnetic field at a point \(P\) midway between the wires is __________\(\mu \mathrm{T}\) (Given : \(\mu_0=4 \pi \times 10^{-7} \mathrm{TmA}^{-1}\) )

  1. A \(65\)
  2. B \(34\)
  3. C \(14\)
  4. D \(160\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(160\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( B=\left(\frac{\mu_0 i}{2 \pi \mathrm{a}}\right) \times 2=\frac{4 \pi \times 10^{-7} \times 10}{\pi \times\left(\frac{5}{2} \times 10^{-2}\right)} \) \( =16 \times 10^{-5}=160 \mu \mathrm{T}\)
