Four long wires are perpendicular to the x-y plane. Each wire carries the same magnitud current. Wire 1 goes through point (a, a, 0) on the x-y plane, wire 2 goes through the point (-a, a, 0), wire 3 goes through the point (-a, –a, 0), and wire 4 goes through the point (a, –a, 0). Wires 1 and 2 carry their currents in the positive z direction and wires 3 and 4 carry their currents in the -z direction. What is the direction of the resulting magnetic field at the origin? There is no direction since the field is zero at this position. the +x direction the -x direction the-y direction
