carries a current of 40 A perpendicular to the xy plane and passes through the point
(0,4,0) m. What is the magnitude of the resulting magnetic field at the point y = 2.0 m on
the y axis? (ans: 5 μT)

currents are in the same direction. Determine the magnitude of the magnetic field at a
point that is 5.0 mm from each of the wires. (ans: 2.6 mT)
