To solve the problem of finding the magnetic field due to a long straight wire carrying a current of 20 A from east to west, we will use the formula for the magnetic field around a long straight conductor and the right-hand thumb rule to determine the direction of the magnetic field. ### Step-by-Step Solution: **Step 1: Understand the Setup** - The wire is oriented horizontally, carrying a current from east to west. - We need to find the magnetic field at two different points: (i) 10 cm south of the wire ...
