An infinitely long wire carrying current $I$ is along the $Y$-axis such that its one end is at point $A(0, b)$ while the wire extends up to $+\infty$. Find the magnitude of the magnetic field strength at point $(a, 0)$.

  • A
    $\frac{{\mu _0}I}{{4\pi a}}\left( {1 + \frac{b}{{\sqrt {{a^2} + {b^2}} }}} \right)$
  • B
    $\frac{{\mu _0}I}{{4\pi a}}\left( {1 - \frac{b}{{\sqrt {{a^2} + {b^2}} }}} \right)$
  • C
    $\frac{{\mu _0}I}{{4\pi a}}\left( {\frac{b}{{\sqrt {{a^2} + {b^2}} }}} \right)$
  • D
    None of these

Two identical long parallel wires carry currents $I_1$ and $I_2$ such that $I_1 > I_2$. When the currents are in the same direction,the magnetic field at a point midway between the wires is $6 \times 10^{-6} \ T$. If the direction of $I_2$ is reversed,the field becomes $3 \times 10^{-5} \ T$. The ratio $\left(\frac{I_1}{I_2}\right)$ is-
