Question

Transcribed Image Text:**Problem Statement:**
In the figure, point \( P_2 \) is at a perpendicular distance \( R = 28.2 \, \text{cm} \) from one end of a straight wire of length \( L = 13.8 \, \text{cm} \) carrying current \( i = 0.665 \, \text{A} \). (Note that the wire is not long.) What is the magnitude of the magnetic field at \( P_2 \)?
**Diagram Explanation:**
The diagram shows a straight horizontal wire of length \( L \) with a current \( i \) flowing through it. The wire is aligned horizontally, with point \( P_2 \) located above the wire at a perpendicular distance \( R \) from one end. Two vectors are drawn from the ends of the wire to point \( P_2 \), indicative of the magnetic field lines.
**Input Fields:**
- **Number**: An input field for entering the numerical value of the magnetic field.
- **Units**: A drop-down menu to select the units of the magnetic field, with the unit "T" (Tesla) shown.
