Question

Two coplanar and concentric circular
loops of wire carry currents
of I1 = 5.00 A and I2 = 3.00 A in
opposite directions as in Figure
P19.65. (a) If r1 = 12.0 cm and
r2 = 9.00 cm, what are (a) the
magnitude and (b) the direction
of the net magnetic field at the
center of the two loops? (c) Let r1
remain fixed at 12.0 cm and let r2
be a variable. Determine the value of r2 such that the net field
at the center of the loop is zero.

Expert Solution
Step 1

a)

the net magnetic field is ,

B = B, + B,

2,
Step 2

substitute the known values,

(47×10-" N/A?)(5.00 A)
B =
-(47x10-" N/A*)(3.00 A)
10-m
10 m
2(9.00 cm)
2(12.0 cm)
1cm
1cm
= (47x10-" N/A? )(20.83A/m –16.67A/m)
= 5.23x10- T
