Two long current-carrying conductors are placed parallel to each other at a distance of $8 \, cm$ between them. The magnitude of the magnetic field produced at the mid-point between the two conductors due to the current flowing in them is $300 \, \mu T$. The equal current flowing in the two conductors is ...............

  • A
    $30 \, A$ in the same direction
  • B
    $30 \, A$ in the opposite direction
  • C
    $60 \, A$ in the opposite direction
  • D
