Chapter 28 Problem 28.42

Question

Figure E28.42 shows, in cross section, several conductors that carry currents through the plane of the figure. The currents have the magnitudes \(I_{1}=4.0 \mathrm{~A}\), and \(I_{2}=6.0, I_{2}=6.0 \mathrm{~A}\), and \(I_{3}=2.0 \mathrm{~A}\), and the directions shown. Four paths, labeled a through d, are shown. What is the line integral \(\oint \overrightarrow{\boldsymbol{B}} \cdot d \overrightarrow{\boldsymbol{l}}\) for each path? Each integral involves going around the path in the counterclockwise direction. Explain your answers.

Solution

Step 1 of 3)

The first step in solving 28 problem number 42 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Figure E28.42 shows, in cross section, several conductors that carry currents through the plane of the figure. The currents have the magnitudes \(I_{1}=4.0 \mathrm{~A}\), and \(I_{2}=6.0, I_{2}=6.0 \mathrm{~A}\), and \(I_{3}=2.0 \mathrm{~A}\), and the directions shown. Four paths, labeled a through d, are shown. What is the line integral \(\oint \overrightarrow{\boldsymbol{B}} \cdot d \overrightarrow{\boldsymbol{l}}\) for each path? Each integral involves going around the path in the counterclockwise direction. Explain your answers.
From the textbook chapter Sources of Magnetic Field you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
