Three very long wires are strung parallel to
each other as shown in the figure below. Each
wire is at a distance 56 cm from the other two,
and each wire carries a current of magnitude
I = 3.3 A in the directions shown in the figure.
A wire loop consists of two semicircles con-
nected by straight segments. The inner and
outer radii are 0.24 m and 0.36 m, respec-
tively. A current of 1.4 A flows in this loop.
