**Problem: Magnetic Field Due to Parallel Wires**

Two wires each carry 10.0 A of current (*in opposite directions*) and are 2.10 mm apart. What is the magnetic field 33.0 cm away at point P, in the plane of the wires? If the net field is into the page, enter a negative value.

### Diagram Explanation:

- Two parallel lines represent the wires. 
- The left wire has a current direction into the page.
- The right wire has a current direction out of the page.
- The wires are 2.10 mm apart, represented by the label "X mm".
- A point P is located below the wires, a distance "Y cm" away. 
  - \( X = 2.10 \) mm 
  - \( Y = 33.0 \) cm

### Solution:

The magnetic field at point P is calculated due to these two wires.

**Result:**

\[ 2.4 \times 10^{-7} \, \text{T} \]

(Note: The “×” symbol in the image indicates multiplication, and the “T” stands for Tesla, the unit of magnetic field strength.)
