Two conducting wires perpendicular to the page are shown in cross section as gray dots in the figure. They each carry $10.0 \mathrm{A}$ out of the page. What is the magnetic field at point $P ?$. (FIGURE CANNOT COPY)
Added by Daniel H.
Step 1
Given that the wires are perpendicular to the page and each wire is 10 units away from point P, the distance from each wire to point P can be calculated as: $$r = \sqrt{10^2 + 10^2} = \sqrt{200} = 14.1 \text{ meters}$$ Show more…

In Fig. $29-57,$ four long straight wires are perpendicular to the page, and their cross sections form a square of edge length $a=8.50 \mathrm{cm} .$ Each wire carries 15.0 $\mathrm{A}$ , and all the currents are out of the page. In unit-vector notation, what is the net magnetic force per meter of wire length on wire 1?
