Long, straight conductors with square cross section each carrying current I, are laid side-by-side to form arn infinite current sheet with current directed out of the plane of the page (see the figure (Figure 1))

Long, straight conductors with square cross section each carrying current I, are laid side-by-side to form arn infinite current sheet with current directed out of the plane of the page (see the figure (Figure 1)). A second infinite current sheet is a distance d below the first and is parallel to it. The second sheet carries current into the plane of the page. Each sheet has n conductors per unit length.

Part B

Find the direction of the net magnetic field at point P (above the upper sheet)

to the left
to the right
no field

Part C

Calculate the magnitude of the net magnetic field at point R (midway between the two sheets)

Express your answer in terms of the variables I, d, n, and appropriate constants.
