Four current-carrying wires are shown above forming a square with side s=0.18ms=0.18m (The wires are actually not touching each other). The currents in wires 1, 2, and 3 are I1=1.7AI1=1.7A, I2=7.4AI2=7.4A, and I3=5.3AI3=5.3A, respectively. If the magnetic field at the center of the square is B⃗ =(9.5μT)k^B→=(9.5μT)k^ where k^k^ is directed out of the page, what is the current in wire 4? Provide a positive value if it is directed upwards and a negative value otherwise (if downwards).

Four current-carrying wires are shown above forming a square with side s=0.18ms=0.18m (The wires are actually not touching each other). The currents in wires 1, 2, and 3 are I1=1.7AI1=1.7A, I2=7.4AI2=7.4A, and I3=5.3AI3=5.3A, respectively. If the magnetic field at the center of the square is B⃗ =(9.5μT)k^B→=(9.5μT)k^ where k^k^ is directed out of the page, what is the current in wire 4? Provide a positive value if it is directed upwards and a negative value otherwise (if downwards).
