Two long, straight wires are perpendicular to the plane of the paper and at a distance 0.2 m from each other, as shown in the figure. The wires carry currents of I1 = 2.6 A and I2 = 5 A in the direction indicated (out of the page). Find the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field (in µT) at a point A midway between the wires. You need to indicate the direction with a positive or a negative value for the magnetic field. Keep in mind that a vector is positive if directed to the right and negative if directed to the left on the x axis and it is positive if directed up and negative if directed down on the y axis. Your answer should be a number with two decimal places, do not include the unit.
