Question
A conducting circular loop of radius a is connected to two long, straight wires. The straight wires carry a current i as shown in figure. Find the magnetic field B at the centre of the loop.

Solution
As the centre of the loop, that is, point O, lies on the same line of two long, straight wires, the magnetic field at O due to each straight wire is zero.
Since wires ABC and ADC are identical, the current gets equally distributed in two parts at point A. So, the magnetic field due to ABC and ADC at O are equal in magnitude but are opposite in directions. (as shown in the figure).
∴ Net magnetic field at O = 0
