Wire in an external magnetic field

A long, straight, horizontal wire carries a left-to-right current of 23.5\(\rm\ A\). The wire is placed in a uniform magnetic field of magnitude 42.0\(~\mu\mathrm{T}\) that is directed vertically downward.

Question Text

What is the magnitude of the net magnetic field 27.5\(\rm\ cm\) above the wire?
