Two parallel conducting wires of equal length are placed distance $d$ apart and carry currents $I_1$ and $I_2$ respectively in opposite directions. The resultant magnetic field at the midpoint of the distance between both the wires is

  • A
    $\frac{\mu_0(I_1-I_2)}{2\pi d}$
  • B
    $\frac{\mu_0(I_1+I_2)}{2\pi d}$
  • C
    $\frac{\mu_0(I_1+I_2)}{\pi d}$
  • D
    $\frac{\mu_0(I_1-I_2)}{\pi d}$
