JEE Main 2019Magnetic Effects of Current Question with Solution

JEE Main 2019 (08 Apr Shift 2)

Question

Two very long, straight, and insulated wires are kept at 90o angle from each other in xy-plane as shown in figure.

These wires carry currents of equal magnitude I , whose direction are shown in the figure. The net magnetic field at point P will be:

Correct answer
DZero

Step-by-step explanation

Magnetic field due to wire along x-axis:
B1=μ0I2πdz^
Magnetic field due to wire along z-axis:
B2=μ0I2πd(-z^)
Bnet=B1+B2=0
