A steady current I= 2.1 A is flowing through a straight wire of finite length (at the ends of the wire segment shown, the wire will bend and the current density will be in a different direction).
Part A. Find B1, the magnitude of the magnetic field generated by this wire segment at a point P located a distance x= 17.0 cm from the center of the wire segment. Assume that at P the angle subtended from the midpoint of the wire to each end is θm=27.0 degrees as shown in the diagram (Figure 1) . In other words, the length of the wire segment is 17.32 cm . Note that the figure is not drawn to scale.
