Equal currents $I$ are flowing in three infinitely long wires along the positive $x$,$y$,and $z$ directions. The magnetic field at a point $(0, 0, -a)$ would be:

  • A
    $\frac{\mu_0 I}{2\pi a}(\hat{j} - \hat{i})$
  • B
    $\frac{\mu_0 I}{2\pi a}(\hat{i} - \hat{j})$
  • C
    $\frac{\mu_0 I}{2\pi a}(\hat{i} + \hat{j})$
  • D
    $\frac{\mu_0 I}{2\pi a}(-\hat{i} - \hat{j})$
