**Description of Problem:**

Each of the eight conductors in the figure carries a current of 3.41 A either into or out of the page. There are two paths labeled for evaluating the line integral \(\oint \vec{B} \cdot d\vec{s}\). What is the value of the integral for:

(a) Path 1  
(b) Path 2

**Diagrams and Analysis:**

- **Diagram Explanation:**  
  The image shows two closed paths labeled 1 and 2, encompassing some of the conductors. Each conductor is represented with a circle, and the direction of current is indicated by a dot for outward current and a cross for inward current.

  - **Path 1:**  
    Encloses three conductors, two with crosses (inward current) and one with a dot (outward current).

  - **Path 2:**  
    Encloses three conductors, two with crosses (inward current) and one with a dot (outward current), similar to Path 1.

**Calculations:**

- **(a) Path 1:**  
  The value of the line integral for Path 1 is calculated as 2.51.

- **(b) Path 2:**  
  The value of the line integral for Path 2 is calculated as 0.

**Input and Results:**

- **(a) Number:**  
  2.51 Units: (Selectable dropdown for units, not specified)

- **(b) Number:**  
  0 Units: T· (Presumably Tesla, for the magnetic field)

These calculations likely derive from applying Ampère's Law, which relates the integral of the magnetic field around a closed loop to the current enclosed by that loop.
