Question
Two long, parallel wires
separated by a distance 2d carry
equal currents in the same direction.
An end view of the two wires
is shown in Figure P19.54, where
the currents are out of the page.
(a) What is the direction of the
magnetic field at P on the x - axis
set up by the two wires? (b) Find an
expression for the magnitude of the
field at P. (c) From your result to part (b), determine the field
at a point midway between the two wires. Does your result
meet with your expectation? Explain.
