Two infinitely long, thin, insulated, straight wires lie in the x-y plane along the x- and y- axis respectively. Each wire carries a current I, respectively in the positive x-direction and positive y-direction. The magnetic field will be zero at all points on the straight line:

A

y=x

B

y=-x

C

y=x-1

D

y=-x+1

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
