Determine the magnetic field at point P, 12.0 cm from one wire and 5.0 cm from the other (Fig. 20–55). Solution The field from each wire makes concentric circles about the source wire. The individual fields at point P are perpendicular to the lines from the wires to point P. We define as the field from the closer point, and as the field from the further point. Use Eq. 20-6 to calculate each individual field. Take into account that . This means that. Using Pythagorean theorem we have To find direction of we can calculate x and y components: 41. (II) A rectangular loop of wire lies in the same plane as a straight wire, as shown in Fig. 20–57. There is a current of 2.5 A in both wires. Determine the magnitude and direction of the net force on the loop. Solution The magnetic field at the loop due to the long wire is into the page, and can be calculated by Eq. 20-6. The force on the segment of the loop closest to the wire is towards the wire, since the currents are in the same direction. The force on the segment of the loop farthest from the wire is away from the wire, since the currents are in the opposite direction. Because the magnetic field varies with distance, it is difficult to calculate the total force on either the left or right segments of the loop. Using the right hand rule, the force on each small piece of the left segment of wire is to the left, and the force on each small piece of the right segment of wire is to the right. If left and right small pieces are chosen that are equidistant from the long wire, the net force on those two small pieces is zero. Thus the total force on the left and right segments of wire is zero, and so only the parallel segments need to be considered in the calculation. Use Eq. 20-7. 43. (II) Two long wires are oriented so that they are perpen
