Problem 5.12

Two parallel wires carry currents of 6 amps in opposite directions that are 2 meters apart. A point P is located 0.5 meters from one of the wires. To find the magnetic flux density at point P, the contribution from each wire is calculated separately using the Biot-Savart law and summed together. The magnetic flux density is found to be 8μ0/π Tesla.
