Three infinitely long thin wires, each carrying current `i` in the same direction, are in the `x-y` plane of a gravity free space . The central wire is along the `y - axis` while the other two are along `x = +-d`.
(i) Find the locus of the points for which the magnetic field `B` is zero.
(ii) If the central wire is displaced along the ` Z- direction` by a small amount and released, show that it will excecute simple harmonic motion . If the linear density of the wires is `lambda`, find the frequency of oscillation.
