$A$ long straight wire of circular cross-section is made of a non-magnetic material. The wire is of radius $a$. The wire carries a current $I$ which is uniformly distributed over its cross-section. The energy stored per unit length in the magnetic field contained within the wire is

Given below are two statements:
Statement $I:$ Biot-Savart's law gives us the expression for the magnetic field strength of an infinitesimal current element $(Id\vec{l})$ of a current-carrying conductor only.
Statement $II:$ Biot-Savart's law is analogous to Coulomb's inverse square law of charge $q$,with the former being related to the field produced by a vector source,$Id\vec{l}$,while the latter is produced by a scalar source,$q$. In light of the above statements,choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

Two infinitely long parallel wires carry currents of magnitude $I_1$ and $I_2$ and are at a distance $4 \, cm$ apart. The magnitude of the net magnetic field is found to reach a non-zero minimum value between the two wires at a distance of $1 \, cm$ from the first wire. The ratio of the two currents and their mutual direction is
