Two identical long conducting wires and are placed at right angles to each other, with one above the other such that is their common point. The wires carry currents and respectively. Point is lying at distance from along a direction perpendicular to the plane containing the wires. The magnetic field at the point will be
To solve this problem, we need to determine the magnetic field at point due to the two perpendicular wires.Given:• Two long conducting wires and are perpendicular to each other.• They carry currents and respectively.• Point is at a distance from the common point along a direction perpendicular to the plane of the wires.The magnetic field due to a long straight wire at a perpendicular distance is given by:For wire carrying current For wire carrying current Since the wires are perpendicular, the magnetic fields and at point are also perpendicular.The resultant magnetic field at point is given by the vector sum:Substitute the expressions for and Thus, the magnetic field at point is This corresponds to Option 4.
