You have to check your books for this one I'm sor you will find the amazing answers there
Given: Two similar conductors carrying the same amount of current are placed such that one conductor is along the x-axis and the other is along the y-axis
To find: the ratio of the resultant magnetic field at a common point to the individual magnetic field
Solution: Since both, the conductor is identical and carries the same amount of current
So we can let the Magnetic field of both the conductor be B1 and B2
we can write it as
B1 = B2 = B
Net magnetic field at the common point of the conductors will be
Bnet = √( B1^2 + B2^2)
Bnet = √( B^2 + B^2)
Bnet = √2 B
The required ratio will be Bnet/B
Bnet/B = √2 B/B
Bnet/B = √2/1
therefore, the ratio of resultant magnetic field at a common point to the individual magnetic field will be √2:1.
