Four long, parallel conductors carry equal currents of I = 6.33 A. The figure shown below is an end view of the conductors. The direction of the current is into the page at points A and B (indicated by the crosses) and out of the page at C and D (indicated by the dots). Calculate the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field at point P, located at the center of the square with an edge of length 0.200 m.
Magnitude: μT
Direction: ---Select--- into the monitor, upward, downward, out of the monitor, to the right, to the left
A cross-sectional illustration shows four long, parallel conductors carrying current into and out of the plane of the page. They are arranged so that each conductor lies at the corner of a square of side 0.200 m. Point P is at the center of the square.
Conductor A is at the top left corner, carrying current into the page.
Conductor B is at the bottom left corner, carrying current into the page.
Conductor C is at the top right corner, carrying current out of the page.
Conductor D is at the bottom right corner, carrying current out of the page.
