Four long, parallel conductors carry equal currents of `5.0`. The direction of the currents is into the pge at points. `A` and `B` and out of the page at `C` and `D`. Calculate the magnitude and directionof the mgnetic field at point `P`, located at the centre of the square.

A

W and Y X and Z

B

X and Z W and Y

C

W and Z X and Y

D

W and X Y and Z

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

(d) To get magentic field in resultant direction, current in X
should be in and that in Z should be out, I in W should be in
and that in Y should be out.
