Homework Statement
Each of two long straight parallel wires separated by a distance of 24.0 cm carries a current of 5.00 A
in the same direction. What is the magnitude of the resulting magnetic field at a point that is 14.0 cm
from each wire?
Homework Equations
U0I/2pir
U0I/4pia(cos(theta) -cos(theta2))
B1 + B2 =B
The Attempt at a Solution
I have tried (U0I/2pir)2 as well as U0I/4pia(cos(theta) -cos(theta2)) Where theta 1 is approx 30 and theta 2 is approx 150. r in both equations have been .14. I have also tried U0I/2pi(.14) + U0I/2pi(.24-.14). And a series of other variations which never yield close to the given potential answers. Been working on this for 5 days now.
