Magnetic Field at Points A, B & C in Figure

AI Thread Summary
The magnetic field at point A is calculated to be 0 T, with its direction to the right. At point B, the magnetic field magnitude is 2*10^-6 T, and the direction is to the left. For point C, the magnetic field magnitude is 1*10^-6 T, with the direction pointing upwards. The discussion emphasizes the importance of showing attempts and using relevant equations for accurate calculations. Overall, the thread focuses on determining the magnitudes and directions of magnetic fields at specified points.

Hi aloko, welcome to PF.
Before you ask our help, you have search for the relevant equations. Show your attempts. If you don't get the answer, we will see where you have made mistake.
So proceed.
 
Attempted solution

a. for magnetic field B at point a,

magnetic field, B=U*I/[2*pie*r], where U=4*pie*10^-7, r is the radius, I=current

so, magnetic field at point a is; B= [(4*3.14*10^-7)*10]/[(2*3.14*0)]
therefore B=0 T

b. direction of the mag. field is to the right.

c. magnetic field B at point b,

B= [(4*3.14*10^-7)*10]/[2*3.14*1]= 2*10^-6 T

d. direction of the mag. field is to the left

e. magnetic field, B at point C

B= [(4*3.14*10^-7)*10]/[2*3.14*2]
B=1*10^-6 T

f. direction of the mag. field is up.
 
TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'
Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
