Question

Two wires lie perpendicular to the plane of the paper. Point P is equidistant from the two wires.

A) What is the direction of current (I) for each wire?

B) Construct a vector diagram showing the direction of the resultantmagnetic field at point p due to the currents in these two wires. Explain thoroughly.

C) If the current in both wires were instead directed into the plane of the page (such that the current moved away from us), show the resultant magnetic field at Point P.

*Drawings would help immensely. Thanks

Two wires lie perpendicular to the plane of the paper. Point P is equidistant from the two wires. What is the direction of current (I) for each wire? Construct a vector diagram showing the direction of the resultantmagnetic field at point p due to the currents in these two wires. Explain thoroughly. If the current in both wires were instead directed into the plane of the page (such that the current moved away from us), show the resultant magnetic field at Point P.
