Two identical conducting wires AOB\mathrm{A O B}AOB and COD\mathrm{C O D}COD are placed at right angles to each other. The wire AOB\mathrm{AOB}AOB carries an electric current I1\mathrm{I_1}I1​ and COD\mathrm{COD}COD carries a current I2\mathrm{I_2}I2​. The magnetic field on a point lying at a distance ' d\mathrm{d}d ' from O\mathrm{O}O, in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the wires AOB\mathrm{A O B}AOB and COD\mathrm{C O D}COD, will be given by
