Two long parallel wires \(X\) and \(Y\), separated by a distance of 6 cm , carry currents of 5A and 4A, respectively, in opposite directions as shown in the figure. Magnitude of the resultant magnetic field at point P at a distance of 4 cm from wire Y is \(x \times 10^{-5} \mathrm{~T}\). The value of \(x\) is__________ . Take permeability of free space as \(\mu_0=4 \pi \times 10^{-7} \mathrm{SI}\) units.
