In fig. two long parallel wires carry equal currents

in opposite directions. Point O is situated midway between the wires and the X-Y plane contains the two wires and the positive Z-axis comes normally out of the plane of paper. The magnetic field B at O is non-zero along

a
X Y and Z axes
b
X-axis
c
Y-axis
d
Z-axis

detailed solution

Correct option is D

Here, the currents are in opposite directions. The magnetic field adds at O. Thus the net magnetic field is along negative Z-axis
