Question
**Problem Description:**

A long horizontal wire carries a current of 20.0 A due north.

**Part A:**

*Question:*
What is the net magnetic field 23.0 cm due west of the wire if the Earth's magnetic field at that point is directed downward, 44° below the horizontal, and has a magnitude of \(5.0 \times 10^{-5}\) T (teslas)?

*Instruction:*
Express your answer using two significant figures.

*Response Box:*
\( B = \, \_\_ \) T
