(a) Explanation Given Info: Distance between wire 1 and point P ( r 1 ) is 1.50 m , distance between wire 2 and point P ( r 2 ) is 0.50 m and current in the wire 1 ( I 1 ) is 6.00 A . Formula to determine the magnetic field due to wire 1 at point P , B 1 = μ 0 I 1 2 π r 1 (I) μ 0 is the magnetic constant, I 1 is the current in the wire 1 , r 1 is the distance between wire 1 and point P . Substitute 4 π × 10 − 7 T ⋅ m / A for μ 0 , 1.50 m for r 1 and 6.0 A for I 1 in equation (I). B 1 = ( 4 π × 10 − 7 T ⋅ m / A ) ( 6.00 A ) 2 π ( 1.50 m ) = 8.0 × 10 − 7 T Formula to determine the magnetic field due to wire 2 , B 2 = μ 0 I 2 2 π r 2 (II) μ 0 is the magnetic constant, I 2 is the current in the wire 2 , r 2 is the distance between wire 2 and point P (b) To determine The magnitude and direction of the net field at point Q . (c) To determine The magnitude of the net magnetic field at point S .
