Expert Solution
Step 1

Let the two long, parallel wires separated by d =  0.20 m carry an equal current of I = 1.5 A in the same direction.

The magnetic field at a distance a = 1.5 m away from each wire 

So now 

We  know that the formula of the magnetic field is given as 

B = μ0I2πr

where μ0  is the permeability  of the free space 

I is the current 

r is the distance at which the magnetic field is B
