Question

in this completed example, why is r equal to sintheta? Also the integration is dtheta, how do we get there? 

Example: Find the magnetic field due to wire A'ACC' at O, which is the center of a circular arc
carrying current i. Given are: i, R and 0.
For the arc segment AC:
The magnetic field due to segments AA' and CC' is zero because
ds xf =
(ds) (sin0) = 0
where is in radians!
