JEE Main20198 Apr 2019Evening ShiftPhysicsMagnetic Effects of CurrentActual
Two very long, straight, and insulated wires are kept at 90 o angle from each other in x y - p l a n e as shown in figure. These wires carry currents of equal magnitude I , whose direction are shown in the figure. The net magnetic field at point P will be:
Options
- A- μ 0 I 2 π d x ^ + y ^
- B+ μ 0 I π d z ^
- Cμ 0 I 2 π d x ^ + y ^
- DZero
Correct answer
D. Zero
Step-by-step solution
Magnetic field due to wire along x-axis: B 1 = μ 0 I 2 π d z ^ Magnetic field due to wire along z-axis: B 2 = μ 0 I 2 π d ( - z ^ ) B → n e t = B → 1 + B → 2 = 0
