Answer:

(A). The magnetic field is zero at 0.8 cm.

(B). The magnetic field is zero at 5.56 cm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Current in first wire I = 6.0 A

Current in second wire = 2.6 A

Distance x_{1}=-2.2 cm

Distance x_{2}=+2.2\ cm

(A). We need to calculate the magnetic field

If the currents are in the same direction

The magnetic field is in both wires

B_{1}=B_{2}

\dfrac{\mu_{0}I_{1}}{2\pi(r)}=\dfrac{\mu_{0}I_{2}}{2\pi(x-r)}

Put the value into the formula

\dfrac{I_{1}}{(r)}=\dfrac{I_{2}}{4.4-r}

Put the value into the formula

\dfrac{6.0}{r}=\dfrac{2.6}{4.4-r}

x = \dfrac{6.0\times4.4}{8.6}

x =3.0\ cm

The point where the magnetic field is zero

x = 3.0-2.2 = 0.8\ cm

The magnetic field is zero at 0.8 cm.

(B). We need to calculate the point where the magnetic field zero

If the currents are in the opposite direction

The magnetic field is in both wires

B_{1}=B_{2}

\dfrac{\mu_{0}I_{1}}{2\pi(r)}=\dfrac{\mu_{0}I_{2}}{2\pi(x+r)}

Put the value into the formula

\dfrac{I_{1}}{(r)}=\dfrac{I_{2}}{4.4+r}

Put the value into the formula

\dfrac{6.0}{r}=\dfrac{2.6}{4.4+r}

x = \dfrac{6.0\times4.4}{3.4}

x =7.76\ cm

The point where the magnetic field is zero

x = 7.76-2.2 = 5.56\ cm

The magnetic field is zero at 5.56 cm.

Hence, This is the required solution.

How does a battery work?
Flauer [41]

Answer:

Essentials. A battery is a device that stores chemical energy and converts it to electrical energy. The chemical reactions in a battery involve the flow of electrons from one material (electrode) to another, through an external circuit. The flow of electrons provides an electric current that can be used to do work.

Why is the law of gravity a scientific law
Yuri [45]
An object in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon another force.

Newton used this to prove that gravity existed. Without an unseen force, we could throw a ball and it would go on forever correct? Unless there was something to pull it down, in this case, gravity.

On a distant planet, a rock falls in 48.4 s from the top of a 1.10e+02 m cliff to the planet surface below. What is the accelera
pav-90 [236]

this can be solve using the formala of free fall

t = sqrt( 2y/ g)

where t is the time of fall

y is the height

g is the acceleration due to gravity

48.4 s = sqrt (2 (1.10e+02 m)/ g)

G = 0.0930 m/s2

The velocity at impact

V = sqrt(2gy)

= sqrt( 2 ( 0.0930 m/s2)( 1.10e+02 m)

V = 4.523 m/s
