Let the distance between the wires be d=8 cm. The distance of the midpoint from each wire is r=2d=4 cm=0.04 m.
The current in each wire is I=30 A.
Since the currents flow in opposite directions, the magnetic fields produced by both wires at the midpoint point in the same direction and add up.
The total magnetic field at the midpoint is:
Bnet=B1+B2=2πrμ0I+2πrμ0I=πrμ0I
Substituting the given values:
Bnet=π×0.044π×10−7×30
Bnet=0.04120×10−7
Bnet=3000×10−7 T
Bnet=300×10−6 T=300 μT
Answer: 300
