Two long current carrying conductors are placed parallel to each other at a distance of 8 cm between them. The magnitude of magnetic field produced at mid-point between the two conductors due to current flowing in them is 300 μ T . the equal current flowing in the two conductors is:

Option 1 - <p>30A in the same direction.</p>
Option 2 - <p>30A in the opposite direction.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
Option 3 - <p>60A in the opposite direction.</p>
Option 4 - <p>300A in the opposite direction.</p>

Correct Option - 1
Detailed Solution:

If currents are flowing in same direction, magnetic field will cancel each other, so the currents must flowing in opposite direction

B P = μ 0 I 2 π r * 2

3 0 0 * 1 0 6 = 4 π * 1 0 7 2 π * 4 * 1 0 2 * 2                                                                           

I = 30 A
