Question
Current I flow through two parallel straight wires in the same direction/The wires are at a distance 2r from each other. What is the intensity of magnetic field atw the midpoint between the two wires?

Answer

Total magnetic field B = 0 as magnetic fields produced by two wires are equal and mutually opposite.

The top of the atmosphere is at about 400kV with respect to the surface of the earth, corresponding to an electric field that decreases with altitude. Near the surface of the earth, the field is about 100Vm–1. Why then do we not get an electric shock as we step out of our house into the open? (Assume the house to be a steel cage so there is no field inside!)
