33 1 Model A magnetic field is caused by an electric current Visualize Please refer to Figure EX33 1 Solve The magnitude of the magnetic field at point 1 is 2 0 mT and its direction can be determined by using the right hand rule Grab the current carrying wire so that your thumb points in the direction of the current 2 0 mT into the page At point 2 the magnetic field Because your fingers at point 1 point into the page due to the bottom wire is into the page The right hand rule tells us that the magnetic field from the top wire is also into the page At point 2 4 0 mT into the page cid 71 2B cid 71 1B 33 2 Model A magnetic field is caused by an electric current Visualize Please refer to Figure EX33 2 Solve The current in the wire is directed to the right B2 20 mT 20 mT 40 mT because the two overlapping wires are carrying current in the same direction and each wire produces a magnetic field having the same direction at point 2 B3 20 mT 20 mT 0 mT because the two overlapping wires carry currents in opposite directions and each wire produces a field having opposite directions at point 3 The currents at 4 are also in opposite directions but the point is to the right of one wire and to the left of the other From the right hand rule the field of both currents is out of the page Thus B4 20 mT 20 mT 40 mT 33 3 Model The magnetic field is that of a moving charged particle Visualize The
