A pair of stationary and infintely long ...

A pair of stationary and infintely long bent wires are placed in the ` XY` planes as shown in fig. The wires carry currents of ` I = 10 amperes` each as shown . The segments `P and Q` are parallel to the ` Y-axis` such that ` OS = OR = 0.02 m`. Find the magnitude and direction of the magnetic induction at the origin `O`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

As point O is along the length of segments L and M, so the
field at O due to these segements will be zero. Also, point O is
near one end of a long wire.
The resultant field at O, `B_R=B_P+B_Q`, this field will be into the
plane of paper.
`implies B_R=(mu_0)/(4pi) I/(RO)+(mu_0)/(4pi) 1/(SO)`
But `RO=SO=0.02m`
Hence, `B_R=2xx(mu_0)/(4pi)xx10/0.02=2xx10^-7 10/0.02=10^-4 Wbm^-2`
