Two long straight current-carrying wires are lined up parallel to one another at a distance d. Currents of 4 A and 2 A flow through the wires, both in the same direction generating the field of 7.6x10-6 T at a midpoint between them. Calculate the distance between the wires. Give your answer in SI units. Use µo = 4x x 10-' Hm1.
