Calculating Magnetic Field at Point P for Perpendicular Current-Carrying Wires

AI Thread Summary
To calculate the magnetic field at point P due to two perpendicular current-carrying wires, one wire along the X-axis carries current I1, while the second wire parallel to the Z-axis carries current I2 downward. The magnetic field at point P, located at coordinates (0, 0, R), can be determined using the Biot-Savart law or Ampère's law. The Right-Hand Rule is essential for determining the direction of the magnetic field generated by each wire. Participants are encouraged to share their calculations and approaches to solving this problem. Clear understanding and application of these principles are crucial for accurate results.

A wire coinciding with the X-axis carries a current I1 in the direction of increasing x. A second wire is parallel to the Z-axis at a distance R, and carries a current I2 in the downward direction as indicated in the figure. The magnetic field at point P (0, 0, R) is: (options and diagram in photo)

@Kartofen69420 -- Are you familiar with the "Right-Hand Rule" for the B-field generated by a current?
 

Thread 'Rolling without slipping on a curved surface'

Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...

Thread 'A bead-mass oscillatory system problem'

I can't figure out how to find the velocity of the particle at 37 degrees. Basically the bead moves with velocity towards right let's call it v1. The particle moves with some velocity v2. In frame of the bead, the particle is performing circular motion. So v of particle wrt bead would be perpendicular to the string. But how would I find the velocity of particle in ground frame? I tried using vectors to figure it out and the angle is coming out to be extremely long. One equation is by work...
