Expert Solution

5)
Using right hand screw rule, the current should flow in counter-clockwise direction for producing a magnetic field in the z-direction.

6)
If there is no current through any of the wires, there won't be any magnetic field.
If same current runs through both the wires in same direction, using right hand rule, one field is going into the page and the other is coming out of the page and the resultant is zero.
So options (b) and (c) are correct.

7)
Except for option (b), all others are correct.

8)
If the current is flowing in the negative y-direction, a magnetic field in the +z direction is created, which can be used cancel the magnetic field going in the - z-direction.
So, the answer is option (b)
