Three parallel, long straight wires are carrying currents into or out of the page. The distance between wires X and Y is the same as the distance between wires Y and Z. The magnitude of the current in all wires is the same.

Rank the strength (magnitude) of the magnetic field acting on wire Y from greatest to least.

Thank you in advance for your help! If you could, please explain to me why the answer is what it is. I am trying to understand the concept but I am utterly lost on this one.
