The magnitudes of the currents in the two long parallel wires I1\color{#c34632}I_1 and I2\color{#c34632}I_2, both directed into the page, are equal: I1=I2=I=3.00A\color{#c34632}I_1=I_2=I=3.00\, \text{A}. The distance from I1I_1 to point P is r1=5.00cm\color{#c34632}r_1=5.00\, \text{cm}, and the distance from I2I_2 to point P is r2=12.00cmr_2=12.00\, \text{cm}. The distance between the wires is d=13.0cm\color{#c34632} d=13.0\, \text{cm}.

We need to determine the magnitude of the resultant magnetic field B\color{#c34632} B at the point P.(see the figure P19.61\textbf{figure P19.61}
