i) Two infinitely long current carrying conductors X and Y are kept parallel to each other, 24 cm apart in vacuum. They carry currents of 5 A and 7 A respectively, in the same direction, as shown in the figure below. Find the position os a neutral point, i.e., a point where resultant magnetic flux density is zero.



ii) If current through the conductor Y is reversed in direction, will neutral point lie between x and Y, to the left of X or to the left of Y?


i) Let the neutral point (P) from X is a cm and from y is (24-a) cm.


Flux density B1 at P due to conductor X is,

straight B subscript 1 space equals space fraction numerator straight mu subscript straight o over denominator 4 straight pi end fraction space fraction numerator 2 space straight x 5 over denominator straight a space straight x 10 to the power of negative 2 end exponent end fraction
Similarly, flux density B2 at point P due to the conductor Y is given by,
B2fraction numerator straight mu subscript straight o over denominator 4 straight pi end fraction space fraction numerator 2 space x space 7 over denominator left parenthesis 24 minus a right parenthesis cross times 10 to the power of negative 2 end exponent end fraction
At the neutral point,

B1 = B2

i.e., fraction numerator straight mu subscript straight o over denominator 4 straight pi end fraction fraction numerator 2 x 5 over denominator a x 10 to the power of negative 2 end exponent end fraction space equals space fraction numerator straight mu subscript straight o over denominator 4 straight pi end fraction fraction numerator 2 x 7 over denominator left parenthesis 24 minus a right parenthesis space x 10 to the power of negative 2 end exponent end fraction

5 x (24-a) = 7a

120 - 5 a = 7a

120 = 12 a

a = 120/12 = 10 cm

Therefore, the position of neutral point from X is 10 cm and from Y is 14 cm.

The resultant field will be perpendicular to the plane of paper, pointed in the upward direction.

ii) If the direction of current in the conductor Y is reversed, the resultant field will be perpendicular to the plane of paper, pointing downward between X and Y.
