(N/A) The Biot-Savart law states that the magnetic field $dB$ at a point due to a small current element $Idl$ is given by:
$dB = \frac{\mu_0}{4\pi} \frac{I (dl \times r)}{r^3} = \frac{\mu_0}{4\pi} \frac{I dl \sin\theta}{r^2}$
Where:
- $dB$ is the infinitesimal magnetic field.
- $\mu_0$ is the permeability of free space.
- $I$ is the current flowing through the conductor.
- $dl$ is the length of the current element.
- $r$ is the position vector from the element to the point.
- $\theta$ is the angle between the current element $dl$ and the position vector $r$.

$A$ long straight wire carrying electric current $i$ is bent at its mid-point to form an angle of $45^{\circ}$ as shown in the figure. The magnetic field at a point $P$ at a distance $d$ from the point $Q$ of bending is:

Six very long insulated copper wires are bound together to form a cable. The currents carried by the wires are $I_1 = +10 \text{ A}, I_2 = -13 \text{ A}, I_3 = +10 \text{ A}, I_4 = +7 \text{ A}, I_5 = -12 \text{ A}$ and $I_6 = +18 \text{ A}$. The magnetic induction at a perpendicular distance of $10 \text{ cm}$ from the cable is (Given: $\mu_0 = 4\pi \times 10^{-7} \text{ T m/A}$) (in $\mu\text{T}$)
