The correct Answer is:
To find the magnetic field \( \vec{B} \) at the point \( (0, 0, d) \) due to two long wires carrying currents along the x-axis and y-axis, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Setup We have two long straight wires: - Wire 1 is along the x-axis and carries current \( I \) in the positive x-direction. - Wire 2 is along the y-axis and carries current \( II \) in the positive y-direction. We need to find the magnetic field at the point \( (0, 0, d) \). ### Step 2: Use the Biot-Savart Law The magnetic field \( \vec{B} \) due to a long straight wire carrying current \( I \) at a distance \( r \) from the wire is given by the formula: \[ \vec{B} = \frac{\mu_0 I}{2 \pi r} \hat{n} \] where \( \mu_0 \) is the permeability of free space, and \( \hat{n} \) is the unit vector in the direction given by the right-hand rule. ### Step 3: Calculate the Magnetic Field from Wire 1 For Wire 1 (along the x-axis): - The distance from the wire to the point \( (0, 0, d) \) is \( r = 0 \) (along the y-axis). - The magnetic field \( \vec{B_1} \) at point \( (0, 0, d) \) will be directed in the negative z-direction (using the right-hand rule). Thus, the magnetic field due to Wire 1 is: \[ \vec{B_1} = \frac{\mu_0 I}{2 \pi d} (-\hat{j}) \] ### Step 4: Calculate the Magnetic Field from Wire 2 For Wire 2 (along the y-axis): - The distance from the wire to the point \( (0, 0, d) \) is also \( r = 0 \) (along the x-axis). - The magnetic field \( \vec{B_2} \) at point \( (0, 0, d) \) will be directed in the negative z-direction as well. Thus, the magnetic field due to Wire 2 is: \[ \vec{B_2} = \frac{\mu_0 II}{2 \pi d} (-\hat{i}) \] ### Step 5: Combine the Magnetic Fields The total magnetic field \( \vec{B} \) at point \( (0, 0, d) \) is the vector sum of \( \vec{B_1} \) and \( \vec{B_2} \): \[ \vec{B} = \vec{B_1} + \vec{B_2} \] Substituting the values: \[ \vec{B} = \frac{\mu_0 I}{2 \pi d} (-\hat{j}) + \frac{\mu_0 II}{2 \pi d} (-\hat{i}) \] \[ \vec{B} = -\frac{\mu_0 I}{2 \pi d} \hat{j} - \frac{\mu_0 II}{2 \pi d} \hat{i} \] ### Final Result Thus, the magnetic field \( \vec{B} \) at point \( (0, 0, d) \) is: \[ \vec{B} = -\frac{\mu_0 I}{2 \pi d} \hat{i} - \frac{\mu_0 II}{2 \pi d} \hat{j} \]

To find the magnetic field \( \vec{B} \) at the point \( (0, 0, d) \) due to two long wires carrying currents along the x-axis and y-axis, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Setup We have two long straight wires: - Wire 1 is along the x-axis and carries current \( I \) in the positive x-direction. - Wire 2 is along the y-axis and carries current \( II \) in the positive y-direction. We need to find the magnetic field at the point \( (0, 0, d) \). ...
