Alright, so I split it up into two parts, r1 and r2. Both have a magnitude of L / sqrt(2). r1 has a direction vector of <√2 / 2, √2 / 2, 0>, r2 has a direction vector of <√2 / 2, -√2 / 2, 0>. Then, dl1 is <-L, 0, 0> and dl2 is <0, L, 0>. Both cross products are L * (√2 / 2) in (-k) direction...

How would I go about setting up a Biot and Savart Integral using Vectors? Here is an exercise we had in class: I tried to set it up using Vectors, and figured dl to be <-L,L> and r to be <½L, -½L>. After the cross product, I am not sure how to handle the integration, since r can vary. Would...
