Question
Two parallel wires carry equal currents of 10A along the same direction and are separated by a distance of 2.0cm. Find the magnetic field at a point which is 2.0cm away from each of these wires

Answer
$\cos\theta=\frac{1}{2},$
$\theta=60^\circ\ \&\ \angle\text{AOB}=60^\circ$
$\text{B}=\frac{\mu_0\text{I}}{2\pi\text{r}}=\frac{10^{-7}\times2\times10}{2\times10^{-2}}=10^{-4}\text{T}$
So net is $[(10^{-4})^2]+(10^{-4})^2+2(10^{-8})\cos60^\circ]^\frac{1}{2}$
$=10^{-4}\Big[1+1+2\times\frac{1}{2}\Big]^\frac{1}{2}$
$=10^{-4}\times\sqrt3\text{T}$
$=1.732\times10^{-4}\text{T}$

Consider Galileo's method of measuring the speed of light using two lanterns. To get an accuracy of about 10%, the time taken by the experimenter in closing or opening the shutter should be about one tenth of the time taken by the light in going from one experimenter to the other. Assume that it takes $\frac{1}{100}$ second for an experimenter to close or open the shutter. How far should the two experimenters be to get a 10% accuracy? What are the difficulties in having this separation?
