45. Two long parallel wires are a distance 2a apart, as shown. Point P is in the plane of the wires and a distance a from wire X . When there is a current I in wire X and no current in wire Y , the magnitude of the magnetic field at P is Bo\mathrm{B}_{\mathrm{o}}. When there are equal currents I in the same direction in both wires, the magnitude of the magnetic field at P is A) 2Bo/32 B_{o} / 3 B) 10B0/910 B_{0} / 9 C) 4Bo/34 B_{o} / 3 D) 2Bo2 B_{o} ![](https://storage.googleapis.com/diraq-contents/question-bank/question-images/30b39f37a73a/2025_11_20_a06764ffad9cea2721f0g-08.jpg)
