Question

"4. Two long, parallel wires each carry the same current I in the same direction (Fig. OQ 30.4) . Is the total magnetic field at the point P midway between the wires (a) zero,(b) directed into the page,(c) directed out of the page,(d) directed to the left, or (e) directed to the right?"

Answer 1

Total magnetic field at the point P midway between the wires is Zero.

The higher wire's contribution to the magnetic field at point P is directed into the page, whereas the lower wire's contribution is directed out of the page. These two oppositely directed contributions to the magnetic field have identical magnitudes and cancel each other out since point P is equally spaced from the two wires and the currents flowing through them are of equal magnitude.

Define magnitude?

The term "magnitude" refers to an object's greatest size and direction. Scalar and vector quantities both use magnitude as a common factor. We are aware that scalar quantities are those that have just magnitude by definition. Those quantities with both magnitude and direction are considered vector quantities. It can also be used to describe how far an object has travelled or how much an object weighs in terms of its magnitude.
