    Calculating Magnetic Field Between Parallel Wires with Opposing Currents

    I've been studying for my exam and came across this little problem. Two parallel conductors each carry 10 A of current in the same direction. a) What is the magnetic field strength at the midpoint between these wires? b) What is the field strength at the same point if the current ran in...

    Determine the magnetic field between 2 long straight wires

    determine the magnetic field between 2 long straight wires 2cm apart in terms of the current (I) in one, when the other carries 15A. Assume currents are in the same direction. okay so if they're in the same direction the field should be up now I'm guessing I should use (4pi x 10^ -7)/(2pi)...

    Where is the neutral point between 2 wires

    There are 2 long wires A and B, placed 10cm apart. The currents in 2 wires are the same, 0.3A downwards. Where is the neutral point, how far is it from wire A?

    How Does the Angle Between Two Supporting Wires Affect the Tension Force?

    If two wires are holding a 500N weight up, will the tension force in each rope be greater if they are both held taught to the side than if they are both simply holding it straight up? For holding it straight up, the tension force is simply 250N in each, derived from 2Ftsin90 - 500 = 0. To find...

    Calculating Total Resistance & Tolerance of 2 Wires

    If there were 2 wires, and one of the wire has a resistance of 50 Ohms with a tolerance of 5%, while the second wire has a resistance of 60 Ohms with a tolerance of 3%. The total resistance would be 110 Ohms but what about the total tolerance? Would it be 8%?
