Question
Two long parallel wires carrying currents 2.5 A and I (ampere)
in the same direction (directed into the plane of the paper) are
held at P and Q, respectively, such that they are perpendicular
to the plane of paper. Points P and Q are located at a distance of
5 m and 2 m, respectively from a collinear point R (see figure).
P
2 m.
R
5 m
(a) An electron moving with a velocity of 4 x 105 m s' along
the positive x direction experiences a force of magnitude
3.2 x 10-20 N at the point R, find the value of I.
(b) Find all the positions at which a third long parallel wire
carrying a current of magnitude 2.5 A may be placed,
so that the magnetic induction at R is zero.
