As a result of two magnetic fields acting at the same place, the resultant field has a special feature. At a particular point, if the compass needle does not point in any particular direction, then there is no net magnetic field at the point. Such a point is called Neutral point or the Null point.
A neutral point is a point where the resultant magnetic field is zero.
