Exercise 1.1 Given charges q1 = 10 mC, q2 = 10 mC, and q3 = 5 mC, all in free space, what is the direction of the
force acting on charge q3 ?

F e 3 = F e 31 + F e 3 2
Forces F e 31 and F e 32 are equal in magnitude, with F e 31 pointing along 45 above the x axis and F e 32 pointing along 45 below
the x axis. The yˆ components cancel.
Hence, F e 3 is along +x. ˆ

Exercise 1.2 Two parallel, very long, wires carry currents I1 and I2 . The magnetic field due to current I1 alone is B 1 .
What is the magnetic field due to both currents at a point midway between the wires if:
(a) I1 = I2 and both currents flow along the + yˆ direction?
(b) I1 = I2 , but I2 flows along the yˆ direction?
I1 I2
B=?

Solution:

I1 I2
B=0
(a) B 1 is into the page ( z)
ˆ and B 2 is out of the page (+z).
ˆ Since I1 = I2 in magnitude, B = 0.

B = 2B1
(b) Both magnetic fields are into the page. Hence,
