Question

An infinitely long wire is bent as shown in the figure. The current is i. It consists of three segments, AB, BCD, and DE. AB and DE are parallel and both infinite in length. BCD is a semi-circular arc, with radius OB = OC = OD = r. The following questions are concerned with the magnetic field vector, rightarrow B at O. What is the direction of B at O due to the entire wire, ABCDE? in the positive y direction in the negative y direction in the positive x direction in the positive z direction in the negative x direction in quadrant III in quadrant II in quadrant IV in the negative z direction

Explanation / Answer

in _ve Y direction option 2
