To solve the problem of finding the magnetic field at a point which is equidistant from two parallel wires carrying equal currents, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Configuration We have two parallel wires carrying equal currents of 10 A in the same direction, separated by a distance of 2.0 cm. We need to find the magnetic field at a point that is 2.0 cm away from each wire. ### Step 2: Identify the Magnetic Field Due to One Wire The magnetic field \( B \) due to a long straight wire carrying current \( I \) at a distance \( r \) from the wire is given by the formula: \[ ...
