Question: A surveyor is using a magnetic compass 7 . 0 m below a power line in which there is a steady current of 8 8

A surveyor is using a magnetic compass 7.0 m below a power line in which there is a steady current of 88 A .
(a) What is the magnetic field in microteslas at the site of the compass due to the power line? (b) Will this field interfere seriously with the compass reading? The horizontal component of Earth's magnetic field at the site is 20T.

In the figure, two long straight wires are perpendicular to the page and separated by distance d1=0.75cm. Wire 1 carries 5.1 A into the page. What are the (a) magnitude and (b) direction (into or out of the page) of the current in wire 2 if the net magnetic field due to the two currents is zero at point P located a distance d2=1.50cm from wire 2?
