Transcribed Image Text:**Title: Magnetic Field Calculation for Two Parallel Wires**
**Problem Statement:**
(a) The two wires shown in the figure are separated by a distance \(d\) and carry currents of \(I\) in opposite directions. Find the magnitude of the magnetic field at point \(P_1\).
**Diagram Description:**
The diagram illustrates two vertical parallel wires separated by a horizontal distance \(d\). The wire on the left carries an upward current \(I\), and the wire on the right carries a downward current \(I\). Point \(P_1\) is located to the right of the second wire, also at a distance \(d\).
**Options for the Magnetic Field Magnitude at \(P_1\):**
- \(\frac{2\mu_0 I}{\pi d}\)
- \(\frac{\mu_0 I}{4\pi d}\)
- \(\frac{5\mu_0 I}{2\pi d}\)
- \(\frac{3\mu_0 I}{4\pi d}\)
- \(\frac{\mu_0 I}{2\pi d}\)
In this exercise, students are asked to apply their knowledge of electromagnetism to determine the magnitude of the magnetic field at a specified point due to currents flowing in opposite directions in parallel wires.
