Answer:
The magnetic field at mid point between two parallel wires is 1.2 x 10⁻⁵ T
Explanation:
Given;
current in the first wire, I₁ = 10 A
current in the second wire, I₂ = 20 A
distance between the two wires, d = 1.0 m
Magnetic field at mid point between two parallel wires is calculated as;
[tex]B = \frac{\mu_o I_1}{2\pi r} + \frac{\mu_o I_2}{2\pi r} \\\\B = \frac{\mu_o }{2\pi r}(I_1 +I_2)[/tex]
where;
r is the midpoint between the wires, = 0.5 m
μ₀ is the permeability of free space, = 4π x 10⁻⁷
[tex]B = \frac{\mu_o }{2\pi r}(I_1 +I_2)\\\\B = \frac{4\pi*10^{-7} }{2\pi *0.5}(10 +20)\\\\B = \frac{4\pi*10^{-7} *30}{2\pi *0.5}\\\\B = 1.2 *10^{-5} \ T[/tex]
Therefore, the magnetic field at mid point between two parallel wires is 1.2 x 10⁻⁵ T
