Magnetic Field Due to Straight Current Carrying Wire: Practice Problem & Solution

A long wire carrying a current of 2 A is laid along the x axis (current flows along positive x direction) and another wire carrying current of 4 A is laid along y axis(current flows along positive y direction). The points at which magnetic field is zero are:
(2, 1, 0)
(1, 2, 0)
(6, 3, 1)
(–2, 4, 0)
