Two identical coils P and Q each of radius R are lying in perpendicular planes such that they have a common centre. Find the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field at the common centre of the two coils, if they carry currents equal to I and 3 I respectively.

The magnetic field at the centre of the current carrying ring is given by,
![]()
The coil P carrying current I lie in x-y plane; thus its magnetic field lies along z axis.
![]()
The coil Q carrying current I lie in y-z plane; thus its magnetic field lies along x axis.
![]()
The resultant magnetic field is given by,

The direction of the magnetic field is,

The direction of the magnetic field is 71.560 from the horizontal.
