A straight conductive wire is parallel and located on the z axis. A current of 20A in the positive z direction flows in this wire. A second wire is parallel to the x axis, placed at y = 10cm and carried by a current of 40A in the direction of positive x. Determine the magnetic field at point P located on the y axis halfway between the 2 wires.
