Two identical conducting wires and are placed at right angles to each other. The wire carries an electric current and carries a current . The magnetic field on a point lying at a distance from , in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the wires, will be given by:

  1. A
  2. B
  3. C
  4. D

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

The magnetic field due to an infinite straight wire at distance is .Let the wires be along the and axes. The point is at on the -axis.Field due to wire (along -axis) at the point : will be in the -direction. .Field due to wire (along -axis) at the point : will be in the -direction. .Since , the net field is:
