Two parallel, long wires carry currents I1 and I2 where I1 > I2. When the currents are in the same direction, the magnetic field at a point midway between the wires is 50 μT. If the direction of I2 is revered, the field becomes 100 μT. What is the value of \(\frac {I_1}{I_2}\)?

Two parallel, long wires carry currents I<sub>1</sub> and I<sub>2</sub> where I<sub>1</sub> > I<sub>2</sub>. When the currents are in the same direction, the magnetic field at a point midway between the wires is 50 μT. If the direction of I<sub>2</sub> is revered, the field becomes 100 μT. What is the value of \(\frac {I_1}{I_2}\)?
