Rachel Carson was an American marine biologist, who after the discovery of the effects of synthetic pesticides on the environment, became a conservationist.. She wrote a book called, <em>Silent Spring</em> which helped advance the worldwide environmental movement. Her book, <em>Silent Spring</em> expressed her feelings and thoughts on the environmental problems, including many problems with synthetic pesticides like DDT. <em />This then influenced a nationwide ban on many pesticides, including DDT. Her book lead to the inspiration of the grassroots movement and the creation of the U.S Environmental Protection Agency. Rachel Carson was also awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by Jimmy Carter.

Two wires each carry 10.0 A of current (in opposite directions) and are 2.50 mm apart. What is the magnetic field 37.0 cm away a
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

see answer below

Explanation:

Before we do any kind of calculation, we need to convert the proper units of the exercise. All the units of distance must be in meters, so, let's change distance of the wire, and the magnetic field to meters:

Separation between the wires are 2.5 mm:

2.5 mm * (1 m / 1000 mm) = 0.0025 m

The distance of P from the bottom of the wires is 37 cm:

37 cm * (1 m/100 cm) = 0.37 m

The distance of P from the top of the wires is just the sum of the two distances:

R = 0.37 + 0.0025 = 0.3725 m

Now that we have the distance, we can determine the magnetic field, using the following expression:

B = B(bottom) - B(top)   or just B₂ - B₁

And B = μ₀ I / 2πR

Replacing in the above expression we have:

B = μ₀ I / 2π ( 1/R₂ - 1/R₁)

Now we can determine the magnetic field:

B = (4πx10⁻⁷ * 10 / 2π) (1/0.37 - 1/0.3725)

<h2>B = 3.63x10⁻⁸ T</h2><h2></h2>

Which means that the magnetic field is out of the page.

Hope this helps
