Q.

As shown in the figure, two infinitely long, identical wires are bent by 90° and placed in such a way that the segments LP and QM are along the x-axis, while segments PS and QN are parallel to the y-axis. If OP = OQ = 4 cm, and the magnitude of the magnetic field at O is 10–4 T, and the two wires carry equal currents (see figure), the magnitude of the currents in each wire and the direction of the magnetic field at O will be ().
