Question: Figure ( a ) shows two wires, each carrying a current. Wire 1 consists of a circular arc of radius R = 0 . 0

Figure (a) shows two wires, each carrying a current. Wire 1 consists of a circular arc of radius R=0.024m and two radial lengths; it carries current i_(1)=2.2A in the direction indicated. Wire 2 is long and straight; it carries a current i_(2) that can be varied; and it is at distance (R)/(2) from the center of the arc. The net magnetic field vec(B) due to the two currents is measured at the center of curvature of the arc. Figure (b) is a plot of the component of vec(B) in the direction perpendicular to the figure as a function of current i_(2). The horizontal scale is set by i_(2s)=1.0A. What is the angle subtended by the arc? (a)(b)
