Magnetic Field of a Long Wire: Three long parallel wires each carry 2.0-A currents in the same direction. The wires are oriented vertically, and they pass through three of the corners of a horizontal square of side 4.0 cm. What is the magnitude of the magnetic field at the fourth (unoccupied) corner of the square due to these wires? (?0 = 4? × 10-7 T ? m/A)
