Step 1
We can use the right-hand rule to do this. For wire 1, the magnetic field points into the page (towards the center of the square) at the center of the square. For wire 2, the magnetic field points out of the page (away from the center of the square) at the Show more…

The four wires shown in Figure $22.27$ are long and straight. Each wire carries a current of the same magnitude, $I$. The currents in wires 1,2 , and 3 are flowing out of the page; the current in wire 4 is flowing into the page. What is the direction of the total magnetic field produced by the four wires at the center of the square?
