### Magnetic Field Calculation for a Semicircular Wire

**Problem Statement:**
Determine the magnetic field produced by a semicircular circuit element at point \( P \). The direction out of the page is defined as the positive z-direction. Complete the expression by supplying the missing numerical factor.

**Expression:**
\[ B_z = ( \_\_\_\_\_)\mu_0I/R \]

**Diagram Description:**
- **Wire Segment:** A semicircular wire with current \( I \) flowing through it.
- **Point \( P \):** Located at the center of the semicircle.
- **Radius \( R \):** The distance from point \( P \) to any point on the semicircular wire.

**Options:**
- \(-0.25\)
- none of these
- \(0.25\)
- \(-0.5\)
- \(0.5\)

**Goal:** Choose the correct numerical factor that completes the expression for the magnetic field \( B_z \) at point \( P \).
