Two identical long conducting wires AOB and COD are placed at right angles to each other, with one above other such that O is their common point for the two. The wires carry and currents, respectively. Point P is lying at distance from O along a direction perpendicular to the plane containing the wires. The magnetic field at the point P will be [AIPMT 2014]

Answer: (D)

Solution

Each wire gives a field at P and the two fields are mutually perpendicular, so
