Problem

Two long, parallel wires AB and CD are 4.0 cm4.0\,\text{cm} apart and carry steady currents of 12 A12\,\text{A} and 20 A20\,\text{A}, respectively, in the same direction. Along the line joining the wires, find the point where the net magnetic field is zero. State the distance of this point from wire AB.
