Magnetism Perpendicular Wires

AI Thread Summary

To find the magnetic field between two perpendicular wires, calculate the magnetic field produced by each wire individually at the point of interest. One wire is oriented out of the page while the other runs horizontally from left to right. The magnetic field from each wire can be determined using the right-hand rule. After calculating the individual magnetic fields, sum the two vector fields to find the resultant magnetic field at that location. This approach allows for a clear understanding of the combined effects of the two perpendicular wires on the magnetic field.

how do i find the b field of two perpendicular wires.

suppose one wire is pointing out of the page and the other one is going from left to right. I am looking for the magnetic field between them.

o (wire going out of paper)

B=?

xxxxxxxx (wire going left to right)

You calculate the B vector produced by each wire alone in that point and then you sum the 2 vectors.

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...

Thread 'Explain this asphalt sheen'

This problem is two parts. The first is to determine what effects are being provided by each of the elements - 1) the window panes; 2) the asphalt surface. My answer to that is The second part of the problem is exactly why you get this affect. And one more spoiler:
