Two long, parallel wires are separated by 2.8 m.
Each wire has a 32-A current, but the currents are
in opposite directions.
Transcribed Image Text:Two long, parallel wires are separated by 2.8 m. Each wire has a 32-A current, but the currents are in opposite directions.
Determine the magnitude of the net magnetic field at a point 1.4 m to the side of one wire
and 4.2 m from the other wire. The point is in the same plane as the wires.
Express your answer with the appropriate units.

Your answer would be correct if the current in the farther wire was three times
greater than the current in the closer wire. Recall the right-hand rule for the field
produced by an electric current.
