Figure A.4-1. Equipotential contours surrounding two line charges +ρL and -ρL.
The surfaces at r = a are equipotential surfaces so the electric field will always be
The two wires can be replaced with two line charges +ρL and -ρL. The
precise location of these equivalent line charges is determined from the re-
quirement that the surfaces of the metal wires be equipotential surfaces. This
implies that the tangential electric fields will always be equal to zero on these

If the current is into the paper in the wire centered at x = 0 and out of the paper in
the wire centered at x = D, the magnetic flux densities will add in the center.
From Ampere's circuital law, we write the magnetic flux density as
