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:
A

`(mu_(0)i)/(2pix)=(mu_(0)i)/(2piy)`
`y=x`
only in first and third quadrant the fields will be oppositely directed.
