Two very long parallel wires in the xy-plane, a distance 2a apart, are parallel to the y-axis and carry equal currents I as shown in the figure

The +z direction points perpendicular to the xy-plane in a right-handed coordinate system. If both currents flow in the +y direction, which one of the graphs shown in the figure below best represents the z component of the net magnetic field, in the xy-plane, as a function of x? (Caution: These graphs are not magnetic field lines.) A) 1 B) 2 C) 3 D) 4 E) 5
