Question
In the figure, length \( a \) is 7.3 cm (short) and current \( i \) is 17 A. What are the (a) magnitude and (b) direction (into or out of the page) of the magnetic field at point \( P \)?

**Diagram Explanation:**
The diagram shows a wire bent at right angles with the following sections:
- One vertical section from the bottom going up with a length of \( 2a \).
- A horizontal section to the right with a length of \( a \).
- Another vertical section going downward with a length of \( a \).
- The point \( P \) is located at the end of the horizontal line extending beyond the bent wire.

(a) **Magnitude:**
- Number: \_\_\_\_
- Units: (dropdown menu)

(b) **Direction:**
- (dropdown menu for 'into the page' or 'out of the page')

*Use correct number of significant digits; the tolerance is ±2%*
