Two identical long parallel wires carry currents $I_1$ and $I_2$ such that $I_1 > I_2$. When the currents are in the same direction,the magnetic field at a point midway between the wires is $6 \times 10^{-6} \ T$. If the direction of $I_2$ is reversed,the field becomes $3 \times 10^{-5} \ T$. The ratio $\left(\frac{I_1}{I_2}\right)$ is-

  • A
    $\frac{3}{4}$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{2}$
  • C
    $\frac{2}{3}$
  • D
    $\frac{3}{2}$
