Question: Two long straight wires are set parallel to each other. Each carries a current i in the same direction and the separation between them is 2r. The intensity of the magnetic field midway between them is [Kerala PET 2002; DCE 2002]

Options:

A) $ {\mu_{o}}i/r $

B) $ 4{\mu_{o}}i/r $

C) Zero

D) $ {\mu_{o}}i/4r $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

At P
$ \Rightarrow B_{net}=B_{1}-B_{2} $ Since $ | B_{1} |=| B_{2} | $ So, Bnet = 0
