Two horizontally displaced long parallel wires have currents flowing as shown. The distance between the wires is d = 0.0350m. The current IA in wire A is 8.50 (A), OUT. The current IB in wire B is 9.50 (A), IN. Note: µo = 1.257x10-6 T·m/A= 4π x10-7 T·m/A. For parts (a), (b) and (c) see figure 1; for part (d), figure 2.(a) What is the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field due to wire A at midpoint P of the perpendicular segment between

For parts (a), (b) and (c) see figure 1; for part (d), figure 2.(a) What is the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field due to wire A at midpoint P of the perpendicular segment between the wires?
(b) What is the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field due to wire B at midpoint P of the perpendicular segment between the wires?
(c) What is the magnitude and direction of the net magnetic field due to both wires at midpoint P of the segment?
(d) Now turn your attention to figure 2. What is the magnitude and direction of the force on a 1.00 m section of wire B due to the field from wire A? Indicate the direction of the force on wire B with an arrow whose tail is at wire B. SHOW WORK INCLUDING GRAPHICAL ELEMENTS YOU DRAW IN FIGURE 2 TO EXPLAIN YOUR WORK.
