Explanation The point P lies in line with the straight section of the wire; hence, the straighter portion does not create any magnetic field at point P. All the magnetic fieldsare due to curved portions only. For the smaller semicircle, using right hand rule the direction of magnetic field comes out to be inwards. For the larger semicircle, using right hand rule, the direction of magnetic field comes out to be outwards. Given: R = radius of larger semicircle = 2 c m = 0.02 m r = radius of smaller semicircle = 1 c m = 0.01 m i = current in the wire = 5 A θ = angle subtended by each semicircle at P = π B s m a l l e r = magnetic field by smaller semicircle B l arg e r = magnetic field by smaller semicircle Formula Used: B = μ o 4 π × i θ r Here, i is the current θ is the angle r is the radius Calculation: Taking the inward magnetic field at positive and outward magnetic field negative, the net magnetic field at point
