Question: Current Attempt in Progress Tall towers support power lines ( h = 5 0 mathrm { ~m } ) above the ground

Current Attempt in Progress
Tall towers support power lines \( h=50\mathrm{~m}\) above the ground and \( l=17\mathrm{~m}\) apart that run from a hydroelectric plant to a large city, carrying 60 Hz alternating current with amplitude \(3\times 10^{4}\mathrm{~A}\)(see figure below). That is, the current in both of the power lines is \( I=\left(3\times 10^{4} A\right)\sin (2\pi \cdot 60\mathrm{~Hz}\cdot t)\).
Part 1
Your answer is incorrect.
(a) Calculate the amplitude (largest magnitude) and direction of the magnetic field produced by the two power lines at the base of the tower, when a current of \(3\times 10^{4}\mathrm{~A}\) in the left power line is headed out of the page, and a current of \(3\times 10^{4}\mathrm{~A}\) in the right power line is headed into the page.

Part 2
(b) This magnetic field is not large compared to the Earth's magnetic field, but it varies in time and so might have different biological effects than the Earth's steady field. For a person lying on the ground at the base of the tower, approximately what is the maximum emf produced around the perimeter of the body, which is about 2 m long by half a meter wide?
