To solve the problem of finding the magnetic field at a point equidistant from two parallel wires carrying equal currents, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Configuration We have two parallel wires separated by a distance of 2.0 cm, each carrying a current of 10 A in the same direction. We need to find the magnetic field at a point that is 2.0 cm away from each wire. ### Step 2: Identify the Point of Interest Since the point is 2.0 cm away from each wire, we can visualize this point as being located at a distance of 2.0 cm from both wires. This point forms an equilateral triangle with the two wires, where each side is 2.0 cm. ...
