Three long, parallel conductors each carry a current of I = 2.40 A. The figure below is an end view of the conductors, with each current coming out of the page. Taking a = 1.20 cm, determine the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field at the following points.

 

(a) point A
magnitude  µT
direction         

(b) point B
magnitude  µT

The image depicts a geometric diagram with five marked points labeled as \( A \), \( B \), \( C \), and three circles labeled \( I \) at three different positions.

1. **Points and Lines**:
   - Point \( A \) is on the left.
   - Point \( B \) is at the intersection of lines extending from \( A \) vertically and horizontally.
   - Point \( C \) is to the right of \( B \).

2. **Distances**:
   - Each line segment connecting two points is labeled with the variable \( a \). This indicates that all these segments are of equal length.

3. **Diagram Structure**:
   - A triangle is formed between points \( A \), \( B \), and the top \( I \), with all sides equal to \( a \).
   - Another triangle is formed between \( A \), \( B \), and the bottom \( I \), with all sides labeled as \( a \).
   - A straight horizontal line connects \( A \), \( B \), \( C \), and \( I \), where each segment is labeled \( a \).

4. **Significance**:
   - The repeated use of \( a \) for distances suggests symmetrical properties or equal distribution in measurements among the paths.
   - The use of circle \( I \) at various points implies usage in different configurations or contexts within the graph.

In essence, this diagram helps visualize a symmetrical arrangement of points and equal distances, which could be relevant for topics in geometry such as equilateral triangles, symmetry, and congruence in a plane.
