In this problem, you will be asked to calculate the magnetic field due to a set of two wires with antiparallel currents as shown in the diagram (Figure 1) . Each of the wires carries a current of magnitude I. The current in wire 1 is directed out of the page and that in wire 2 is directed into the page. The distance between the wires is 2d. The x axis is perpendicular to the line connecting the wires and is equidistant from the wires.
As you answer the questions posed here, try to look for a pattern in your answers.
