WBJEE · Physics · Magnetic Effects of Current

A current ' \(I^{\prime}\) is flowing along an infinite, straight wire, in the positive \(Z\) -direction and the same current is flowing along a similar parallel wire \(5 \mathrm{m}\) apart, in the negative Z-direction. A point \(P\) is at a perpendicular distance \(3 \mathrm{m}\) from the first wire and \(4 \mathrm{m}\) from the second. What will be magnitude of the magnetic field B of \(P ?\)

  1. A \(\frac{5}{12}\left(u_{0} I\right)\)
  2. B \(\frac{7}{24}\left(\mu_{0} I\right)\)
  3. C \(\frac{5}{24}\left(\mu_{0} I\right)\)
  4. D \(\frac{25}{288}\left(\mu_{0} I\right)\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{5}{24}\left(\mu_{0} I\right)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

According to the question. Magnetic field due to first wire \((A)\) is \(B_{1}=\frac{\mu_{0} \times I}{2 \pi \times 3}\) Magnetic field due to second wire \((B)\) is \(B_{2}=\frac{\mu_{0} \times 1}{2 \pi \times 4}\) Net magnitude of magnetic field…
