Field of a long wire: The figure shows two long, parallel current-carrying wires. The wires carry equal currents I1 = I2 = 20 A in the directions indicated and are located a distance d = 0.5 m apart. Calculate the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field at the point P that is located an equal distance d from each wire. (μ0 = 4π × 10-7 T ∙ m/A) 
A) 8 µT downward
B) 8 µT upward
C) 4 µT downward
D) 4 µT upward
E) 4 µT to the right
