Problem28 16

This document contains calculations to find the magnetic field (B) produced by two current carrying wires: 1) B is 0 at the center point between the wires since their fields cancel out. 2) B is calculated to be 6.67 μT at the center point between wires with radii of 0.3 m and 0.2 m, separated by 0.1 m, each carrying a current of 4 A. 3) B is further calculated to be 7.53 μT at a point 0.05 m left of the center, taking into account the angle between the point and the first wire.
