Answer: The magnitude of the current in the second wire 2.67A
Explanation:
Here is the complete question:
Two straight parallel wires are separated by 7.0 cm. There is a 2.0-A current flowing in the first wire. If the magnetic field strength is found to be zero between the two wires at a distance of 3.0 cm from the first wire, what is the magnitude of the current in the second wire?

To develop this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Wavelength, The relationship between speed, voltage and linear density as well as frequency. By definition the speed as a function of the tension and the linear density is given by
Where,
T = Tension
Linear density
Our data are given by
Tension , T = 70 N
Linear density ,
Amplitude , A = 7 cm = 0.07 m
Period , t = 0.35 s
Replacing our values,
Speed can also be expressed as
Re-arrange to find \lambda
Where,
f = Frequency,
Which is also described in function of the Period as,
Therefore replacing to find
Therefore the wavelength of the waves created in the string is 3.49m
