Two long wires lie in a xy plane, and each carries a current in the positive direction

Question:

Two long wires lie in a xy plane, and each carries a current in the positive direction of the x axis. Wire 1 is at y = 10.0 cm and carries 6.00 A; wire 2 is at y = 5.00 cm and carries 10.0 A.

(a) In unit-vector notation, what is the net magnetic field B at the origin?

(b) At what value of y does B = 0

(c) If the current in wire 1 is reversed, at what value of y does B = 0?
