**Problem Statement:**

Two parallel wires that are separated by a perpendicular distance of 2.0 cm carry currents of 5.0 A and 8.0 A in opposite directions as shown in the diagram below. What is the magnetic field midway between the two wires?

**Diagram Explanation:**

The diagram shows two parallel wires with a separation (d) of 2.0 cm. The top wire carries a current of 8.0 A (to the right) and the bottom wire carries a current of 5.0 A (to the left). There are arrows indicating the direction of each current flow.

**Multiple Choice Options:**

a. 740 µT

b. 0.00 µT

c. 260 µT

d. 520 µT

e. 820 µT
