Question

Is it possible to have a point in between two parallel wires with current of equal magnitude running in the opposite directions where the force is zero?

A. Yes, directly between the two wires, equidistant from each wire.

B. Yes, but closer to one wire than the other.

C. No, since, by the right-hand rule, the magnetic fields will be in the same direction at every point in between.
