Answer:

B1 = μ_o•I1/2πr

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the right hand rule, we can say that the magnetic field at the second wire due to the current being carried in first wire is given by;

B1 = μ_o•I1/2πr

Where;

r is distance that separates the two wires

μ_o is a constant known as permeability of free space

I1 is current in wire 1
