Equal current $i$ is flowing in three infinitely long wires along positive $x, y$ and $z$ directions. The magnetic field at a point $(0, 0, -a)$ would be:

  • A
    $\frac{\mu_0 i}{2\pi a}(\hat{j} - \hat{i})$
  • B
    $\frac{\mu_0 i}{2\pi a}(\hat{i} + \hat{j})$
  • C
    $\frac{\mu_0 i}{2\pi a}(\hat{i} - \hat{j})$
  • D
    $\frac{\mu_0 i}{2\pi a}(\hat{i} + \hat{j} + \hat{k})$

Two long straight parallel conductors carry currents $I_1$ and $I_2$ $(I_1 > I_2)$. When the direction of $I_1$ and $I_2$ is the same,the magnetic field intensity midway between the two conductors is $20 \mu T$. If the direction of $I_2$ is reversed,the field intensity becomes $50 \mu T$. The ratio $I_2 / I_1$ is:
