### Magnetic Field Due to a Current-Carrying WireA long, straight wire perpendicular to this page carries a current of **4.61 A** directed into the page. Find the magnetic field at the following points, all **10.2 cm** from the wire.#### (a) 10.2 cm to the left of the wire- **Magnitude:** [Text Box]- **Direction:** [Dropdown Menu]#### (b) 10.2 cm directly below the wire- **Magnitude:** [Text Box]- **Direction:** [Dropdown Menu]#### (c) 10.2 cm to the right of the wire- **Magnitude:** [Text Box]- **Direction:** [Dropdown Menu]#### (d) 10.2 cm directly above the wire- **Magnitude:** [Text Box]- **Direction:** [Dropdown Menu]### Explanation of Magnetic Field DirectionThe magnetic field around a current-carrying wire follows the right-hand rule. When the thumb of the right hand points in the direction of the current, the fingers curled around the wire point in the direction of the magnetic field: - **Into the page:** Use the right-hand rule. - Points to the left of the wire: Magnetic field points into/out of the page. - Points below the wire: Magnetic field points into/out of the page. - Points to the right of the wire: Magnetic field points into/out of the page. - Points above the wire: Magnetic field points into/out of the page.Calculate the magnitude using Biot-Savart Law or its simplified version for a long straight wire:\[ B = \frac{\mu_0 I}{2 \pi r} \]where:- \( \mu_0 \) is the permeability of free space (\( 4 \pi \times 10^{-7} \) T m/A),- \( I \) is the current,- \( r \) is the distance from the wire.

Since the distance in all cases is the same, the magnitude of the magnetic fields will also be the…
