Question

Two long, straight, parallel wires separated by a distance d carrycurrents inopposite directions as shown in the figure. The bottom wire carries a current of 6 A. Point O is a dis-tance 0.5dbelow the 6A wire as suggested in the figure. The total magnetic field at point O iszero tesla.Determine the value of the current, I, in the top wire.
