Question
Two parallel wires carry currents travelling in opposite directions. The wires are separated by a distance of 1.37 cm. A Hall sensor is placed in the plane of the wires, a distance 9.00cm to the right of the right wire, carrying a current 2.87A. What is the magnitude of the current (in A) in the left wire if the Hall sensor measures a magnetic field of zero Tesla.
