Two straight infinitely long wires are fixed in space


Asked by admin @ in Physics viewed by 335 People


Two straight infinitely long wires are fixed in space so that the current in the

left wire is 2 A and directed out of the plane of the page and the current in the right wire is 3 A and directed into the plane of the page. In which region(s) is/are there a point on the x-axis, at which the magnetic field is equal to zero due to these currents carrying wires? Justify your answer.​

Answered by admin @



Explanation:

So,the current carrying wires are present along the y-axis ,such that 2A wire is along +y-axis and 3A wire is along -y-axis .... Magnetic field intensity due to 2A wire will be directed along +z-axis.
