The figure below shows two long, parallel wires in cross-section, and the currents they carry are directed out of the page. The left wire carries a current of I1 = 2.96 A,and the right carries a current of I2 = 3.50 A.The two wires are a distance d =20.0 cm apart. Point P is the same distance d above the right wire.Assume the +x-direction is to the right, and the +y-direction is upward. What are the magnitude (in T) and direction (in degrees) of the net magnetic field due to the two wires at a point P? Measure the angle counterclockwise from the positive x-axis, with point P at the origin of the coordinate system. (Ignore the magnetic field due to the Earth.)

Question
The figure below shows two long, parallel wires in cross-section, and the currents they carry are directed out of the page. The left wire carries a current of I1 = 2.96 A,and the right carries a current of I2 = 3.50 A.The two wires are a distance          d =20.0 cm apart. Point P is the same distance d above the right wire.Assume the +x-direction is to the right, and the +y-direction is upward.
What are the magnitude (in T) and direction (in degrees) of the net magnetic field due to the two wires at a point P? Measure the angle counterclockwise from the positive x-axis, with point P at the origin of the coordinate system. (Ignore the magnetic field due to the Earth.)
