2025 · 22 Jan · Shift 2 · Q74

JEE MainPhysicsMagneticsNumerical+4 / −1
Two long parallel wires XXX and YYY, separated by a distance of 6 cm , carry currents of 5 A and 4A, respectively, in opposite directions as shown in the figure. Magnitude of the resultant magnetic field at point P at a distance of 4 cm from wire Y is x×10−5 Tx \times 10^{-5} \mathrm{~T}x×10−5 T. The value of xxx is ‾\underline{\hspace{2cm}}​ . Take permeability of free space as μ0=4π×10−7\mu_0=4 \pi \times 10^{-7}μ0​=4π×10−7 SI units. JEE Main 2025 (Online) 22nd January Evening Shift Physics - Magnetic Effect of Current Question 17 English

Correct answer: 1

  1. Magnetic field due to a long straight wire

    The magnetic field at distance rrr from a long straight wire carrying current III is B=μ0I2πrB=\frac{\mu_0 I}{2\pi r}B=2πrμ0​I​

  2. Understand the geometry

    The two wires XXX and YYY are separated by 6 cm6\,\text{cm}6cm.

    Point PPP is at a distance 4 cm4\,\text{cm}4cm from wire YYY.

    From the standard figure for this question, PPP lies on the line joining the wires, on the side of wire YYY away from wire XXX. Therefore, XP=XY+YP=6+4=10 cmXP = XY + YP = 6+4=10\,\text{cm}XP=XY+YP=6+4=10cm

    So, rY=4 cm=0.04 m,rX=10 cm=0.10 mr_Y=4\,\text{cm}=0.04\,\text{m}, \qquad r_X=10\,\text{cm}=0.10\,\text{m}rY​=4cm=0.04m,rX​=10cm=0.10m

  3. Field at PPP due to wire YYY

    Current in wire YYY is 4 A4\,\text{A}4A.

    =\frac{4\pi\times 10^{-7}\times 4}{2\pi\times 0.04}$$ $$B_Y=\frac{16\pi\times 10^{-7}}{0.08\pi}=2\times 10^{-5}\,\text{T}$$
  4. Field at PPP due to wire XXX

    Current in wire XXX is 5 A5\,\text{A}5A.

    =\frac{4\pi\times 10^{-7}\times 5}{2\pi\times 0.10}$$ $$B_X=\frac{20\pi\times 10^{-7}}{0.20\pi}=1\times 10^{-5}\,\text{T}$$
  5. Direction of the fields

    The currents are in opposite directions. At point PPP (outside the two wires), by the right-hand rule, the magnetic fields due to the two wires are in opposite directions.

    Hence the resultant magnitude is Bnet=∣BY−BX∣=∣2−1∣×10−5B_{\text{net}}=|B_Y-B_X|=|2-1|\times 10^{-5}Bnet​=∣BY​−BX​∣=∣2−1∣×10−5 Bnet=1×10−5 TB_{\text{net}}=1\times 10^{-5}\,\text{T}Bnet​=1×10−5T

  6. Find xxx

    Given Bnet=x×10−5 TB_{\text{net}}=x\times 10^{-5}\,\text{T}Bnet​=x×10−5T so, x=1x=1x=1

Final Answer: 1\boxed{1}1​
