Wire 2 is carrying a current of 2.00 A rightward on the page along the line y = 4.00 m
Wire 3 is carrying a current of 3.00 A upward on the page along the line x = 0
Wire 4 is carrying a current of 4.00 A leftward on the page along the line y = -7.00 m
a) Find the magnetic field at the point (5.00 m, 0). ___________________________________
b) Find the magnetic field at the point (5.00 m, 8.00 m). ___________________________________
