Transcribed Image Text:### Problem Description
Two insulated and very long wires, perpendicular to each other in the same plane, carry currents as shown in the figure. The problem is to find the magnitude and direction of the net magnetic field these wires produce at point P.
### Diagram Details
- There are two wires:
- Wire 1 carries a current \( I_1 = 18.0 \, \text{A} \) and is oriented vertically from top to bottom.
- Wire 2 carries a current \( I_2 = 22.0 \, \text{A} \) and is oriented horizontally from right to left.
- The distance from Wire 1 to point P is 12.0 cm.
- The distance from Wire 2 to point P is 16.0 cm.
### Options for Magnetic Field at Point P
