WBJEE · Physics · Magnetic Effects of Current

Consider two infinitely long wires parallel to Z-axis carrying same current I in the positive Z direction. One wire passes through the point \(L\) at coordinates \((-1,+1)\) and the other wire passes through the point \(M\) at coordinates \((-1,-1)\). The resultant magnetic field at the origin \(\mathrm{O}\) will be
- A \(\frac{\mu_{0} I}{2 \sqrt{2 \pi}} \hat{\mathrm{j}}\)
- B \(\frac{\mu_{0} I}{2 \pi} \hat{j}\)
- C \(\frac{\mu_{0} \mathrm{I}}{2 \sqrt{2 \pi}} \hat{\mathrm{i}}\)
- D \(\frac{\mu_{0} I}{4 \pi} \hat{j}\)
