a. The magnetic field in the first quadrant p. inwards
b. The magnetic field in the second quadrant q. outwards
c. The magnetic field in the third quadrant r. Maybe inwards or outwards
d. The magnetic field in the fourth quadrant s. Zero

HARD
IMPORTANT

Two infinitely long, thin, insulated straight wires lie in the x-y plane along the x and y-axes respectively. Each wire carries a current I, respectively in the positive x-direction and the positive y-direction. Find the locus of a point in this plane where the magnetic field is zero.
