Two long, parallel wires are separated by 2.6 mm. Each wire has a 32-AA current, but the currents are in opposite directions.

a. Determine the magnitude of the net magnetic field midway between the wires.

b. Determine the magnitude of the net magnetic field at a point 1.3 mm to the side of one wire and 3.9 mm from the other wire. The point is in the same plane as the wires.
