Question: Two long straight wires, i 1 = 2 2 . 1 mAi _ 1 = 2 2 . 1 , text { mA

Two long straight wires, i1=22.1mAi_1=22.1\,\text{mA}i1=22.1mA and i2=29.0mAi_2=29.0\,\text{mA}i2=29.0mA, are placed equal distances from the origin and create a net magnetic field, B\vec{B}B, at the origin. The wires are positioned such that i1i_1i1 lies on the positive yyy-axis, and i2i_2i2 lies on the negative yyy-axis. The currents flow out of the screen. The goal is to determine the value of i1i_1i1 that will rotate B\vec{B}B by 20.320.3^\circ20.3 clockwise.
