Magnetic field due to a straight current carrying wire
Question

In figure, two long parallel wires carry equal currents in opposite directions. Point O is situated midway between the wires . X-Y plane contains the two wires and the  Z-axis comes normally out of the plane of paper. P is a point such that the magnetic field B at P is zero . Then P lies 

Moderate
Solution

Y axis lies midway between the wires and the magnetic fields produced by the wires, at any point on the Y axis , are equal in magnitude and oppositely directed.
