Magnetic Field of Straight Wires
Two very long, straight, and insulated wires are kept at 90° angle from each other in xy-plane as shown in the figure. These wires carry currents of equal magnitude I, whose directions are shown in the figure. The net magnetic field at point P will be:

Show answer and solution
Answer: (c)
- Wire along x (current ), P at distance above it: along .
- Wire along y (current ), P at distance to its right: along .
- Equal and opposite, so .
- So the answer is (c) zero.
