Solution :
The direction of current is into the page.
The magnetic field
due to the wire is perpendicular to AP and the magnetic field
due to the wire is perpendicular to BP. Thus, the net magnetic field at point P is towards the right.
The net magnetic field at point P is
The magnetic field is
The angle θ is
The net magnetic field at point P is
a). The direction of the current for both the wires is from north to south. The net magnetic field is towards the right when we are facing south.
The direction is towards the west.
b). Since, both the magnetic field are equal and opposite, so no magnetic field is produced.
