Will someone please help w/ this problem? Two long, parallel wires separated by 0.20m carry equal currents of 1.5A in the smae direction. Find the magnitude of the net magnetic field 0.15m away from each wire on the side opposite the other wire. See figure below

You do know the expression to calculate magnetic field due to long straight current carrying wire?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, isn't it: (mu0)(I)/(2(r)(pi))?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup that is right.. lets start with the leftmost point shall we.. what is the direction of magnetic field at that point DUE to the left current carryin wire?
