Question
Two parallel wires carry equal currents of 10A along the same direction and are separated by a distance of 2.0cm. Find the magnetic field at a point which is 2.0cm away from each of these wires

Answer
$\cos\theta=\frac{1}{2},$$\theta=60^\circ\ \&\ \angle\text{AOB}=60^\circ$
$\text{B}=\frac{\mu_0\text{I}}{2\pi\text{r}}=\frac{10^{-7}\times2\times10}{2\times10^{-2}}=10^{-4}\text{T}$
So net is $[(10^{-4})^2]+(10^{-4})^2+2(10^{-8})\cos60^\circ]^\frac{1}{2}$
$=10^{-4}\Big[1+1+2\times\frac{1}{2}\Big]^\frac{1}{2}$
$=10^{-4}\times\sqrt3\text{T}$
$=1.732\times10^{-4}\text{T}$

A circular loop of radius r carrying a current i is held at the centre of another circular loop of radius R(>> r) carrying a current I. The plane of the smaller loop makes an angle of 30° with that of the larger loop. If the smaller loop is held fixed in this position by applying a single force at a point on its periphery, what would be the minimum magnitude of this force?
