A long, straight, conducting wire carries a current of 2.00 A. A second, identical wire is parallel to the first and separated from it by 3.00 cm. The magnetic field at a point halfway between the two wires has magnitude 4.00 * 10^-5 T. What is the current in the second wire if its direction is (a) the same as in the first wire? (b) Opposite to that in the first wire?
