Two long straight parallel wires carry currents of $8 \ A$ and $10 \ A$ in opposite directions. If the distance of separation between the wires is $9 \ cm$, then the net magnetic field at a point between the two wires, which is at a perpendicular distance of $4 \ cm$ from the wire carrying $8 \ A$ current is:

  • A
    Zero
  • B
    $4 \times 10^{-5} \ T$
  • C
    $8 \times 10^{-5} \ T$
  • D
    $12 \times 10^{-5} \ T$
