Question
Equal currents are flowing through two infinitely long parallel wires. What will be the magnetic field at a point midway when the currents are flowing in the same direction?

Answer

Magnetic field at mid-point due to two wires will be equal and opposite, hence the net magnetic field at this point will be zero.
