'An infinitely long conductor is bent into an L shape as shown in Figure Ifa direct current of 5 A flows in the conductor, the magnetic field intensity (H) at (,2,0):'
Added by Ignacio O.
Step 1
We can use the right-hand rule for this. If we point our right thumb in the direction of the current (from the positive terminal to the negative terminal), our curled fingers will indicate the direction of the magnetic field. In this case, the magnetic field will Show more…

Magnetic field intensity due to a straight current carrying conductor of finite length derivation
Madhur L.
In Fig. $30-29$, a straight wire of length $a$ carries a current $i$. Show that the magnitude of the magnetic field produced by the current at point $P$ is $B=\sqrt{2} \mu_{0}|i| / 8 \pi a .$
