A vertical wire carries current upward. At a point to the right of the wire, is the magnetic field into or out of the page?
Question 4
**
Find the magnetic field \(0.040\,\mathrm m\) from a long straight wire carrying \(10\,\mathrm A\).
Question 5
**
A long straight wire carries \(8.0\,\mathrm A\). At what distance is the magnetic field \(4.0\times10^{-5}\,\mathrm T\)?
Question 6
**+
Two identical long parallel wires carry equal currents in the same direction. What is the net magnetic field at the point halfway between them?
