To solve the problem of finding the magnetic field at a point equidistant from two parallel wires carrying currents in both the same and opposite directions, we will follow these steps: ### Given: - Distance between the wires, \( d = 0.1 \, \text{m} \) - Current in each wire, \( I = 10 \, \text{A} \) - Distance from each wire to the point of interest, \( r = 0.1 \, \text{m} \) ### Step 1: Calculate the magnetic field due to one wire ...
