Two long straight parallel wires are 3 cm apart, as shown in the Figure below. They carry current I1 = 3 A and I2 = 5 A in opposite directions. Draw a vector diagram and find the net magnetic field at point P. Give the answer in the format ?⃗ = ???̂+ ???̂. Hint: The direction of the magnetic field produced by a current is always perpendicular to the radial line from the current, i.e. directed along a tangent to an arc whose center is at the wire.
