Answer:
Explanation:
At the point midway between wires
magnetic field due to wire having current 2I₀
= 10⁻⁷ x 2 x2I₀ / r where 2r is the distance between wires .
magnetic field due to wire having current I₀
= 10⁻⁷ x 4 I₀ / r
magnetic field due to wire having current I₀
= 10⁻⁷ x 2I₀ / r
= 10⁻⁷ x 2 I₀ / r where 2r is the distance between wires .
these fields are in opposite direction as direction of current is same in both .
net magnetic field = (4 – 2 )x 10⁻⁷ x I₀ / r
= 2 x 10⁻⁷ x I₀ / r
At point A net magnetic field = 2 x 10⁻⁷ x I₀ / r
At point B , we shall calculate magnetic field
magnetic field due to nearer wire having current 2 I₀ = 10⁻⁷ x 4 I₀ / r
magnetic field due to wire far away = 10⁻⁷ x 2 I₀ / 3r
These magnetic fields act in the same direction so they will add up
net magnetic field = [ (4 I₀ / r) + (2 I₀ / 3r) ] x 10⁻⁷
= (14 I₀ / 3r ) x 10⁻⁷
Magnetic field at point B = (14 I₀ / 3r ) x 10⁻⁷
Ratio of field at A and B
= 3 / 7 . Ans
