(15 pts) Two current carrying wires are arranged as shown in the figure. The top wire carries current I1, and the bottom wire carries current I2.
a)(5pts) Find the magnitude of the magnetic field at point P from the straight portions of the 2 wires. Be sure to fully explain mathematically.
b)(6 pts ) Find the magnitude of the magnetic field at point P from the 2 semicircular portions of the 2 wires in terms of I1,I2, and constants.
c)(4 pts) If I1>I2 and an electron at point P was moving to the right with speed v, what would the magnitude and direction of the magnetic force on the electron be?
