Consider only the field of this current element and decide which combination of the following statements is correct. 1. The field at (0, 0, 1.0 m) is in the positive z direction. 2. The field at (0, 1.0 m, 0) is in the negative y direction. 3. The field at (1.0 m, 0, 0) is zero. 4. The field at (0, 0, 1.0 m) is in the negative y direction.
