Questions  

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 

a
Anywhere on YZ plane
b
Anywhere on X-axis
c
Anywhere on Y-axis
d
Anywhere on Z−axis

detailed solution

Correct option is C

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.
