Two infinite wires carrying opposite electrical currents $I$ and $i$ are placed a distance $x$ apart. $A$ point $P$ at a distance $y$ away from the wire carrying current $i$ is shown in the figure. If the magnetic field is zero at point $P$, then the magnitude of $i$ is

  • A
    $I\left(\frac{x}{x+y}\right)$
  • B
    $I\left(\frac{2x}{x+y}\right)$
  • C
    $I\left(\frac{y}{x+y}\right)$
  • D
    $I\left(\frac{2y}{x+y}\right)$
