Consider a set of six infinite long staright parallel wires arranged perpendicular to the plane of parper in a hexagon as shown. The length of the each side of the hexagon is 3 cm. What is the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field at point P?

Answer»

`20 muT`
`40 muT`
`60 muT`
`80 muT`

SOLUTION :Magnetic field at `P` will be ZERO due to `b` and `E`.
Field at `P` due to `c` and `f`:

`B_(1)=2[(mu_(0)sqrt(3))/(2pir)]=(4xx10^(-7)sqrt(3))/(3xx10^(-2))=40/(sqrt(3)) muT`
FIELDS at `P` due to `a` and `d`:
`B_(2)=2[(mu_(0)sqrt(3))/(2pir)]=40/(sqrt(3)) muT`
Net fields at `P`:
`B=sqrt(B_(1)^(2)+B_(2)^(2)+2B_(1)B_(2)cos 60^(@))=40muT`
