Two parallel straight wires are 1 meter apart. Each wire carries a current of 2 Amperes in the same direction. What is the resultant magnetic field produced by both wires at a point:

2) 1/4 of the distance between them
I don't really understand what 2 is saying to be real honest.. Is it asking for 1/4 the distance as in 0.25 and 0.75 meter split?

1 answer

It is not clear. It could mean
a) pick a point 1/4 the distance between them from one wire (distance to the other wire is 3/4), and compute field
b) it could mean 1/4 distance perpendicular to the line between the two wires, or else.

My guess is a)
