Calculating Magnetic Field at Point P for Perpendicular Current-Carrying Wires

Click For Summary
To calculate the magnetic field at point P due to two perpendicular current-carrying wires, one wire along the X-axis carries current I1, while the second wire parallel to the Z-axis carries current I2 downward. The magnetic field at point P, located at coordinates (0, 0, R), can be determined using the Biot-Savart law or Ampère's law. The Right-Hand Rule is essential for determining the direction of the magnetic field generated by each wire. Participants are encouraged to share their calculations and approaches to solving this problem. Clear understanding and application of these principles are crucial for accurate results.

A wire coinciding with the X-axis carries a current I1 in the direction of increasing x. A second wire is parallel to the Z-axis at a distance R, and carries a current I2 in the downward direction as indicated in the figure. The magnetic field at point P (0, 0, R) is: (options and diagram in photo)

@Kartofen69420 -- Are you familiar with the "Right-Hand Rule" for the B-field generated by a current?
 

Thread 'Bernoulli vs real life experiment'

If have close pipe system with water inside pressurized at P1= 200 000Pa absolute, density 1000kg/m3, wider pipe diameter=2cm, contraction pipe diameter=1.49cm, that is contraction area ratio A1/A2=1.8 a) If water is stationary(pump OFF) and if I drill a hole anywhere at pipe, water will leak out, because pressure(200kPa) inside is higher than atmospheric pressure (101 325Pa). b)If I turn on pump and water start flowing with with v1=10m/s in A1 wider section, from Bernoulli equation I...
