To solve the problem of finding the magnetic field due to a 1 cm piece of wire carrying a current of 5 A at a point 1 m northeast from the wire, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Geometry We have a straight wire with current flowing from south to north. The point where we want to calculate the magnetic field is located 1 m northeast from the wire. This means that the angle between the line connecting the wire to the point and the north direction is 45 degrees. ### Step 2: Use the Biot-Savart Law The magnetic field \( B \) due to a small current element \( I \, dl \) at a distance \( r \) is given by the Biot-Savart Law: \[ ...
