Two long wires are at a distance 'd' apart carries equal and antiparallel current 'i'. Calculate the magnetic field induction at point 'p' through distance 'R'?



Solution


B1=B2=μ0i2πll,where l=(d2)2+R2.\left| \overrightarrow {B _ {1}} \right| = \left| \overrightarrow {B _ {2}} \right| = \frac {\mu_ {0} i}{2 \pi} \frac {l}{l}, \text{where } l = \sqrt {\left(\frac {d}{2}\right) ^ {2} + R ^ {2}}.


If the coordinates xx and yy are defined as show in figure,


B1y=B2yfrom symmetric configuration\left| B _ {1 y} \right| = \left| B _ {2 y} \right| \quad \text{from symmetric configuration}Bx=B2x\left| B _ {x} \right| = \left| B _ {2 x} \right|


Therefore {By=0Bx=B1cosθB2cosθ=2B1cosθ,\begin{cases} B_y = 0 \\ B_x = -\left|\overrightarrow{B_1}\right| \cos \theta - \left|\overrightarrow{B_2}\right| \cos \theta = -2\left|\overrightarrow{B_1}\right| \cos \theta, \end{cases}

Where B=B1+B2,cosθ=d2l\overrightarrow{B} = \overrightarrow{B_1} +\overrightarrow{B_2},\cos \theta = \frac{d}{2l}

B=Bx=2x(μ0il2πl)d2l=μ0i2πdl2=μ0i2πd(d2)2+R2=μ0i2π4dd2+4R2=2μ0idπ(4R2+d2).\left| \overrightarrow {B} \right| = \left| B _ {x} \right| = 2 x \left(\frac {\mu_ {0} i l}{2 \pi l}\right) * \frac {d}{2 l} = \frac {\mu_ {0} i}{2 \pi} \frac {d}{l ^ {2}} = \frac {\mu_ {0} i}{2 \pi} \frac {d}{\left(\frac {d}{2}\right) ^ {2} + R ^ {2}} = \frac {\mu_ {0} i}{2 \pi} \frac {4 d}{d ^ {2} + 4 R ^ {2}} = \frac {2 \mu_ {0} i d}{\pi (4 R ^ {2} + d ^ {2})}.
