Detailed Solution

$B_{1} = \frac{μ_{0} I}{4 π y} [\sin 90 + \sin θ_{1}] = \frac{μ_{0} I}{4 π y} (1 + \frac{x}{\sqrt{x^{2} + y^{2}}}) .... (i)$

$B_{2} = \frac{μ_{0} I}{4 π x} (\sin 90 + \sin θ_{2}) = \frac{μ_{0}}{4 π} \frac{I}{y} (1 + \frac{y}{\sqrt{x^{2} + y^{2}}}) ..... (i i)$

$B_{N e t} = B_{1} + B_{2}$

$B = \frac{μ_{0} I}{4 π} [\frac{1}{y} + \frac{x}{y \sqrt{x^{2} + y^{2}}} + \frac{1}{x} + \frac{y}{x \sqrt{x^{2} + y^{2}}}] \Rightarrow B = \frac{μ_{0} I}{4 π} [\frac{x + y}{x y} + \frac{x^{2} + y^{2}}{x y \sqrt{x^{2} + y^{2}}}]$

$= \frac{μ_{0} I}{4 π} [\frac{x + y}{x y} + \frac{\sqrt{x^{2} + y^{2}}}{x y}] \Rightarrow B = \frac{μ_{0} I}{4 π x y} [\sqrt{x^{2} + y^{2}} + (x + y)]$
