Question

Three semi-infinite wires, each carrying a current of 1 A are placed on each of the coordinate axes with their ends at the origin, as shown in the figure. The magnetic induction at point P - 2 m , 0 , 0 is, μ 0 4 π j ^ + k ^, μ 0 4 π j ^ - k ^, μ 0 8 π - j ^ + k ^, μ 0 8 π j ^ + k ^

There is no magnetic field at P due to wire in x -axis B → P d u e t o w i r e i n y - a x i s = μ 0 I 4 π a k ^ B → P d u e t o w i r e i n z - a x i s μ 0 I 4 π a - j ^ ∴ B → P = μ 0 I 4 π a - j ^ + k ^ = μ 0 I 8 π - j ^ + k ^ = μ 0 8 π - j ^ + k ^
