Problem

Two long parallel straight conductors are 6.0 cm6.0\,\text{cm} apart in air. They carry currents of 20 A20\,\text{A} and 30 A30\,\text{A} in opposite directions. Find the point(s) along the line joining the wires where the resultant magnetic field is zero. Measure the distance from the 20 A20\,\text{A} wire.
