Consider two two long, straight, parallel, current-carrying wires, separated by a distance d = 4.5 cm, as shown in the figure. The left wire is directed out of the page with current I1, and the right wire is directed into the page with current I2. The point P is a distance d from both wires, so the wires and the point form an equilateral triangle. If both wires are carrying a current of 3.5 A, what is the magnitude of the magnetic field, in teslas, at point P? If the current from the left wire is 3.5 A and the current from the right is 13.5 A, what is the magnitude of the magnetic field, in teslas, at point P?
