Field of a Circular Loop: Two Circular Coils of Diameter

Short Answer

Field of a circular loop: Two circular coils of diameter 30.0 cm are parallel to each other and have their centers along the same line L but separated by 22.0 cm. When an experimenter views the coils along L, the coil closer to her carries a clockwise current of 2.50 A. Find the magnitude and sense (clockwise or counterclockwise) of the current needed in the other coil so that the net magnetic field on L midway between the two coils will have a magnitude of 4.10 µT and point away from the experimenter who is viewing the coils along L. (μ₀ = 4π × 10^-7 T ∙ m/A)
