Find magentic field intensity.

AI Thread Summary
To find the magnetic field intensity at the center of a square formed by four parallel wires carrying a 4A current, the relevant equations involve the Biot-Savart Law or Ampère's Law. Each wire contributes to the magnetic field at the center, and due to symmetry, the fields from opposite wires will have components that cancel out. The net magnetic field can be calculated by considering the contributions from each wire and using vector addition. The user is encouraged to upload an image for better clarity on the problem setup. Understanding the arrangement and applying the correct equations will lead to the solution.

Homework Statement


A square with each side of 5 cm in length.Now if 4 parallel wires in each 4A current is flowing were placed on the vertex of the square.How can I find the center of the square of the magnetic strength?

Homework Equations


I am not sure what equation should be used.If I knew I would solve the problem myself.

The Attempt at a Solution


Since the wires are placed at the corners i.e vertex of square, then the 4 wires will make another square like structure.

If it were only one wire placed at a corner, what would be the magnetic field vector at the square center?
 
Hi Julian102,

Use the "UPLOAD" button to copy an image file from your machine to the PF site. Then there won't be access problems for displaying the image (a file on your machine's desktop is not accessible to all, so a link to it fails).

Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'
TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
Thread 'Correct statement about a reservoir with an outlet pipe'
The answer to this question is statements (ii) and (iv) are correct. (i) This is FALSE because the speed of water in the tap is greater than speed at the water surface (ii) I don't even understand this statement. What does the "seal" part have to do with water flowing out? Won't the water still flow out through the tap until the tank is empty whether the reservoir is sealed or not? (iii) In my opinion, this statement would be correct. Increasing the gravitational potential energy of the...
