    Two parallel beams of protons and electrons, carrying equal currents are fixed at a separation $d$. The protons and electrons move in opposite directions. $P$ is a point on a line joining the beams, at a distance $x$ from any one beam. The magnetic field at $P$ is $B$. If $B$ is plotted against $x$, which of the following best represents the resulting curve
