Question:medium

Two long straight parallel wires carry currents of 8 A and 10 A in opposite directions. If the distance of separation between the wires is 9 cm, then the net magnetic field at a point between the two wires, which is at a perpendicular distance of 4 cm from the wire carrying 8 A current is

Show Hint

Use the right-hand grip rule to determine the direction of magnetic fields. For two parallel wires: - Currents in the same direction: Fields oppose each other in between the wires. - Currents in opposite directions: Fields add up in between the wires.
