Question: A long wire carrying a 4 . 2 AA current perpendicular to the xyxy - plane intersects the xx - axis at x = 1

A long wire carrying a 4.2 AA current perpendicular to the xyxy-plane intersects the xx-axis at x=1.7cmx=1.7cm. A second, parallel wire carrying a 2.8 AA current intersects the xx-axis at x=+1.7cmx=+1.7cm.
