As shown in the figure below, two long parallel wires (1 and 2) carry currents of I1 = 2.86 A and I2 = 4.85 A in the direction indicated. Two parallel wires point into the page. They are a distance d apart from each other, with the left wire labeled I_1 at the origin and the right wire labeled I_2 a distance d along the positive x axis. There is a point labeled P directly above wire I_1 a distance d up on the positive y axis. (a) Determine the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field at a point midway between the wires (d = 10.0 cm). magnitude µT direction ° counterclockwise from the +x-axis (b) Determine the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field at point P, located d = 10.0 cm above wire 1. magnitude µT direction ° counterclockwise from the +x-axis
