Two long wires carrying currents of $8 \,A$ and $6 \,A$ are placed along the $x$-axis and $y$-axis respectively. Find the magnitude of the magnetic field at the point $P(2, 4)$. (Take $\mu_{0} = 4\pi \times 10^{-7} \,T \cdot m/A$)

Magnetic field induction at the centre of a circular coil of radius $5 \,cm$ and carrying a current $0.9 \,A$ is (in $SI$ units) (where $\varepsilon_0$ is the absolute permittivity of air in $SI$ units,and the velocity of light $c = 3 \times 10^8 \,ms^{-1}$)

Assertion: In electric circuits,wires carrying currents in opposite directions are often twisted together.
Reason: If the wires are not twisted together,the combination of the wires forms a current loop,and the magnetic field generated by the loop might affect adjacent circuits or components.

Two mutually perpendicular insulated conducting wires carrying equal currents $I$ intersect at the origin. The resultant magnetic induction at point $P(2 \ m, 3 \ m)$ will be:
