A horizontal overhead power line carries a current of 120 A in east to west direction. What is the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field due to the current 4.5 m south of the line?

Since the current and the distance is given in the question,

That is   I = 20 A, r = 4.5 m

 

                           

Therefore,

   

Using the right hand thumb rule, i.e. thumb in the direction of current, and fingers curl in the direction of magnetic field. It is clear that the magnetic field at the observation point is directed towards the reader.

Six parallel aluminum wires of small, but finite, radius lie in the same plane. The wires are separated by equal distances d, and they carry equal currents I in the same direction. Find the magnetic field at the center of the first wire. Assume that the current in each wire is uniformly distributed over its cross section.
