A long, straight wire carrying a current of 380 A is placed in a uniform magnetic field that has a magnitude of 6.59 × 10-3 T. The wire is perpendicular to the field. Find a point in space where the net magnetic field is zero. Locate this point by specifying its perpendicular distance from the wire.

Answer:

The point in space where the net magnetic field is zero lies by specifying its perpendicular distance from the wire is 0.01153 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Current = 380 A

Magnetic field [tex]B=6.59\times10^{-3}\ T[/tex]

We need to calculate the distance

Using formula of magnetic field

[tex]B = \dfrac{\mu_{0}I}{2\pi r}[/tex]

[tex]r=\dfrac{\mu_{0}I}{2\pi B}[/tex]

Where, B = magnetic field

I = current

Put the value into the formula

[tex]r=\dfrac{4\pi\times10^{-7}\times380}{6.59\times10^{-3}\times2\pi}[/tex]

[tex]r=0.01153\ m[/tex]

Hence,  The point in space where the net magnetic field is zero lies by specifying its perpendicular distance from the wire is 0.01153 m.
