In the figure two long straight wires (shown in cross section) carry the currents and directly out of the page. They are equal distances from the origin, where they set up a magnetic field . To what value must current be changed in order to rotate by clockwise?



Important Questions on Magnetic Fields Due to Currents
In the figure, a wire forms a semicircle of radius and two (radial) straight segments each of length The wire carries current .What is the (a) magnitude and (b) direction (into or out of the page) of the net magnetic field at the semicircle's center of curvature

The figure shows a snapshot of a proton moving at velocity towards a long straight wire with current, . At the instant shown, the proton's distance from the wire is . In unit-vector notation, what is the magnetic force on the proton due to the current?

A straight conductor carrying current splits into identical semicircular arcs as shown in the figure. What is the magnetic field at the center of the resulting circular loop?


In the figure, two concentric circular loops of wire carrying current in the same direction lie in the same plane. Loop has radius and carries . Loop has radius and carries . Loop is to be rotated about a diameter while the net magnetic field set up by the two loops at their common center is measured. (a) Through what angle must loop be rotated so that the magnitude of that net field is (b) What is the least possible magnitude of the net field?

In the given figure, two circular arcs have radii and , subtend angle , carry current and share the same center of curvature What are the magnitude and direction (into or out of the page) of the net magnetic field at

In the figure, current is set up in a loop having two radial lengths and two semicircles of radii and with a common center What are the (a) magnitude and (b) direction (into or out of the page) of the magnetic field at and the (c) magnitude and (d) direction of the loop's magnetic dipole moment?

A wire with current is shown in the figure. Two semi-infinite straight sections, both tangent to the same circle with radius is , are connected by a circular arc that has a central angle and runs along the circumference of the circle. The arc and the two straight sections all lie in the same plane. If the magnetic field is at the circle's centre, what is
