Homework Statement
Consider a general point on the line joining the two wires and a distance d
away from the mid-point O. By summing the magnetic field due to currents of magnitude i flowing in both the wires which are non-zero, show that on the line joining the two wires, the magnetic field strength is given by:
B= μ iD / π(D2 −d2)
Homework Equations
(D^2 −d^2) = (D+d)(D-d) ****** a simple trig identity
B= μ i / 2π d
The Attempt at a Solution
I'm kinda stuck - any pointers on where to start?
