Find magentic field intensity.

AI Thread Summary
To find the magnetic field intensity at the center of a square formed by four parallel wires carrying a 4A current, the relevant equations involve the Biot-Savart Law or Ampère's Law. Each wire contributes to the magnetic field at the center, and due to symmetry, the fields from opposite wires will have components that cancel out. The net magnetic field can be calculated by considering the contributions from each wire and using vector addition. The user is encouraged to upload an image for better clarity on the problem setup. Understanding the arrangement and applying the correct equations will lead to the solution.

Homework Statement


A square with each side of 5 cm in length.Now if 4 parallel wires in each 4A current is flowing were placed on the vertex of the square.How can I find the center of the square of the magnetic strength?

Homework Equations


I am not sure what equation should be used.If I knew I would solve the problem myself.

The Attempt at a Solution


Since the wires are placed at the corners i.e vertex of square, then the 4 wires will make another square like structure.

If it were only one wire placed at a corner, what would be the magnetic field vector at the square center?
 
Hi Julian102,

Use the "UPLOAD" button to copy an image file from your machine to the PF site. Then there won't be access problems for displaying the image (a file on your machine's desktop is not accessible to all, so a link to it fails).
 
Here is the image.

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
