Two identical long conducting wire AOB and COD are placed at right angle to each other, with one above other such that O is their common point for the two. The wires carry I1 and I2 currents, respectively. point P is lying at distance d from O along a direction perpendicular to the plane containing the wires. The magnetic field at the point P will be,

  • fraction numerator straight mu subscript straight o over denominator 2 πd end fraction open parentheses I subscript 1 over I subscript 2 close parentheses
  • fraction numerator straight mu subscript straight o over denominator 2 πd end fraction left parenthesis I subscript 1 space plus space I subscript 2 right parenthesis
  • fraction numerator straight mu subscript straight o over denominator 2 πd end fraction space left parenthesis I subscript 1 squared space minus space I subscript 2 squared right parenthesis
  • fraction numerator straight mu subscript straight o over denominator 2 πd end fraction space left parenthesis I subscript 1 squared space plus space I subscript 2 squared right parenthesis to the power of begin inline style bevelled 1 half end style end exponent

Solution

D.

fraction numerator straight mu subscript straight o over denominator 2 πd end fraction space left parenthesis I subscript 1 squared space plus space I subscript 2 squared right parenthesis to the power of begin inline style bevelled 1 half end style end exponent
The point P is lying at a distance d along the z-axis.

open vertical bar straight B subscript 1 close vertical bar space equals space fraction numerator mu subscript o over denominator 2 pi end fraction I subscript 1 over d
open vertical bar B subscript 2 close vertical bar space equals space fraction numerator mu subscript o over denominator 2 pi end fraction I subscript 2 over d
B subscript n e t end subscript space equals space square root of B subscript 1 squared plus B subscript 2 squared end root
B subscript n e t end subscript space equals space fraction numerator mu subscript o over denominator 2 pi end fraction space 1 over d space left parenthesis I subscript 1 squared space plus space I subscript 2 squared right parenthesis to the power of begin inline style bevelled 1 half end style end exponent
