I have a set-up where there are multiple conductive wires separated by insulators placed parallel to one another and current ##I_w## is flowing within each conductor(all currents are parallel and equal),they create a magnetic field and I believe would add up like this diagram:
The current is flowing downwards, in the diagram above current is flowing into the page.
The way I diagrammed the magnetic field is it correct? Or approximately close to what it would be?
If there was a conductive loop placed in front of the wires, and moved parallel to the magnetic field like so:
Due to the motion of the loop being parallel to the magnetic field ##-\epsilon = 0 ## correct?
Finally, if we allowed current to flow in the conductive loop like so:
I'm not really sure what the Lorentz force acting on the wire would be, I'm assuming due to the current being opposite in direction the same magnetic field it would be zero...
I worked a lot of examples similar to this, but I'm not confident enough to say I'm right, always feel like I am missing something...
