With only two resistors in parallel, it's relatively easy
to calculate their combined equivalent resistance.
R = (their product) / (their sum)
= (18Ω x 23.5Ω) / (18Ω + 23.5Ω)
= (423Ω²) / (41.5Ω)
= 10.2 Ω
Heated air rises while cooled air sinks.
Answer:
Magnetic field at point having a distance of 2 cm from wire is 6.99 x 10⁻⁶ T
Explanation:
Magnetic field due to finite straight wire at a point perpendicular to the wire is given by the relation :
......(1)
Here I is current in the wire, L is the length of the wire, R is the distance of the point from the wire and μ₀ is vacuum permeability constant.
In this problem,
Current, I = 0.7 A
Length of wire, L = 0.62 m
Distance of point from wire, R = 2 cm = 2 x 10⁻² m = 0.02 m
Vacuum permeability, μ₀ = 4π x 10⁻⁷ H/m
Substitute these values in equation (1).

B = 6.99 x 10⁻⁶ T
