Two parallel conductors carry current in opposite directions as shown in figure. One conductor carries a current of 10.0 A. Point C is a distance \( \frac{d}{2} \) to the right of the 10.0 A current. If \( d = 18 \, \text{cm} \) and \( I \) is adjusted so that the magnetic field at C is zero, the value of the current \( I \) is
