Two long straight wires are placed along the $x$-axis and $y$-axis. They carry currents $I_1$ and $I_2$ respectively. The equation of the locus of points with zero magnetic induction in the magnetic field produced by them is:

  • A
    $y=x$
  • B
    $y=\left(\frac{I_2}{I_1}\right) x$
  • C
    $y=\left(\frac{I_1}{I_2}\right) x$
  • D
    $y=\left(I_1 I_2\right) x$
