Question: Figure shows, in cross section, two long straight wires held against a plastic cylinder of radius 20.0 cm. Wire 1 carries current i1 = 60.0
Figure shows, in cross section, two long straight wires held against a plastic cylinder of radius 20.0 cm. Wire 1 carries current i1 = 60.0 mA out of the page and is fixed in place a 2 carries current i1 = 40.0 mA out of the page and can be moved around the cylinder. At what (positive) angle θ2 should wire 2 be positioned such that, at the origin, the net magnetic field due to the two currents has magnitude 80.0n T?
