Two parallel wires of equal lengths are separated by a distance of $3 \text{ m}$ from each other. The currents flowing through the first and second wire are $3 \text{ A}$ and $4.5 \text{ A}$ respectively in opposite directions. The resultant magnetic field at the midpoint of both the wires is ($\mu_0$ = permeability of free space).
