Measure from the centre of the loop of radius , toward the second loop. Between the loops the two axial fields have opposite directions. Their magnitudes areEquating them and cancelling common factors givesTaking the power yields . Since , we have , and thereforeThus the magnetic-field cancellation between oppositely driven coaxial loops occurs one third of the separation from the smaller loop.
