    Two infinitely long straight wires lie in the $\mathrm{xy}$-plane along the lines $\mathrm{x}=+R$. The wire located at $\mathrm{x}=+\mathrm{R}$ carries a constant current $\mathrm{I}_1$ and the wire located at $\mathrm{x}=-R$ carries a constant current $\mathrm{I}_2$. A circular loop of radius $R$ is suspended with its centre at $(0,0, \sqrt{3} R)$ and in a plane parallel to the xy-plane. This loop carries a constant current $/$ in the clockwise direction as seen from above the loop. The current in the wire is taken to be positive if it is in the $+\hat{\mathrm{j}}$ direction. Which of the following statements regarding the magnetic field $\dot{B}$ is (are) true?

    $(A)$ If $I_1=I_2$, then B' cannot be equal to zero at the origin $(0,0,0)$
