Problem
Two identical point charges travel in vacuum, each with its velocity perpendicular to the line joining it to point Q. Charge X moves at 3.0×106m/s, and charge Y moves at 1.0×106m/s. Both are the same distance from Q. Which charge produces the larger magnetic field magnitude at Q, and by what factor compared with the other?
