Vedclass · Answer

(A) The magnetic field due to a semi-infinite wire at a perpendicular distance $r$ is given by $B = \frac{\mu_{0} I}{4 \pi r} (\sin 	heta_1 + \sin 	heta_2)$.For wire $(1)$ (along the $x$-axis), the distance from $P$ is $y$. One end is at the origin $(	heta_1 = 90^{\circ})$ and the other is at infinity $(	heta_2 = 90^{\circ})$, but since it is a semi-infinite wire starting from the origin, the formula becomes $B_1 = \frac{\mu_{0} I}{4 \pi y} (1 + \sin 	heta_1)$, where $\sin 	heta_1 = \frac{x}{\sqrt{x^2+y^2}}$.Thus, $B_1 = \frac{\mu_{0} I}{4 \pi y} \left(1 + \frac{x}{\sqrt{x^2+y^2}}ight)$.Similarly, for wire $(2)$ (along the $y$-axis), the distance from $P$ is $x$, so $B_2 = \frac{\mu_{0} I}{4 \pi x} \left(1 + \frac{y}{\sqrt{x^2+y^2}}ight)$.Both fields are directed into the page at point $P$. Adding them:$B = B_1 + B_2 = \frac{\mu_{0} I}{4 \pi} \left[ \frac{1}{y} + \frac{x}{y\sqrt{x^2+y^2}} + \frac{1}{x} + \frac{y}{x\sqrt{x^2+y^2}} ight]$$B = \frac{\mu_{0} I}{4 \pi} \left[ \frac{x+y}{xy} + \frac{x^2+y^2}{xy\sqrt{x^2+y^2}} ight]$$B = \frac{\mu_{0} I}{4 \pi xy} \left[ (x+y) + \sqrt{x^2+y^2} ight]$.
