Two infinite sheets of current flow parallel to the y-z plane as shown. The sheets are equally spaced from the origin by x = 6.1 cm. Each sheet consists of an infinite array of wires with a density n = 15 wires/cm. Each wire in the left sheet carries a current l₁ = 3.3 A in the negative z- direction. Each wire in the right sheet carries a current 1₂ = 4 A in the positive z-direction. R 1₁ H P % % OOOO OOO S X
