Find the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field at the following points:
(a)
At a point midway between the wires.
(b)
At point P₁ a distance 10.0 cm to the right of the right wire.
(c)
At point P₂ a distance 20.0 cm to the left of the left wire.
Now suppose a proton (q = 1.6 × 10-¹⁹ C) is moving upwards parallel to the wires and starts at point P2
with velocity v = (5.0 × 10¹ m/s)ĵ. At the same instant, a uniform electric field is activated that exactly
cancels out the magnetic force on the proton due to the two wires.

Find the direction and magnitude of the electric field E.
