Step 1: theory and explaination

Since you have posted a question with multiple sub-parts, we will solve the first three sub parts for you. To get the remaining sub-part solved please repost the complete question and mention the sub-parts to be solved.

The magnetic field due to an infinitely long current carrying wire is given by 

B equals fraction numerator mu subscript 0 I over denominator 2 straight pi straight r end fraction
W h e r e space r space i s space p e r p e n d i c u l a r space d i s tan c e space f r o m space t h e space w i r e space a n d space I space i s space t h e space c u r r e n t space f l o w space i n space t h e space w i r e.

For the direction of magnetic field you have to use right hand palm rule, for that you have to move your right hand's thumb in the direction of current and fingers towards the point where magnetic field is to be calculated then the direction of palm will be direction of magnetic field.
