2. Shown at right is a cross-sectional view of two long
straight wires that are parallel to one another. One m orr
wire carries a current i, out of the page, the other
carries an equal current i, into the page.
a. Draw a vector on the diagram to show the
direction of the magnetic field, if any, at point P.
Explain your reasoning.

b. Suppose that a third wire, carrying another current
i, out of the page, passes through point P.
Draw a vector on the diagram to indicate the
magnetic force, if any, exerted on the current in
the new wire at P. If the magnitude of the force is
zero, indicate that explicitly. Explain your
reasoning.

c. Suppose instead that the third wire (carrying the
same current i, out of the page) is placed such that
the magnetic field at point P has zero magnitude.
Determine the location of the third wire. (Hint:
You will need to know how the magnetic field
depends on the distance from the wire. This
relationship can be found in your text.)
