The wire shown in Fig. carries current I in the direction shown. The wire consists of a very long, straight section, a quarter- circle with radius R, and another long, straight section. What are magnitude and direction of net magnetic field at the center of curvature of quarter-circle section (point P)?

Answer» The contributions from the straight segments is zero since
`dveclxxvecr=0`
The magnetic field from the curved wire is just one quarter of a
full loop:
`B=1/4((mu_0I)/(2R))`,
and is out of the page.
