Alright, thanks...that clarifies a lot.

I'm not understanding how to calculate two wires instead of just one. Should I use the equation that involves two currents or calculate both of the wires and somehow combine them?

Two wires carrying currents of 4A and 6A, respectively, are oriented perpendicular to each other and cross without electrical connection at the origin. Determine the magnetic field magnitude and direction at the point (2, 4). [bI don't even know what equation to use for this. All we have...

Hopefully this attachment works...I know how to find the forces, I just need to figure out how to do the vectors. Not quite sure what else to say, but...help please?
