Magnetic Field of a Long Wire: In the figure, the two long straight wires are separated by a distance of d = 0.40 m. The currents are I1 = 1.0 A to the right in the upper wire and I2 = 8.0 A to the left in the lower wire. What are the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field at point P, that is a distance d/2 = 0.20 m below the lower wire? (?0 = 4? × 10-7 T ? m/A)

What will be an ideal response?
