Official Solution
Correct Option: (2)
Step 1: Concept
Field due to a straight wire of infinite length is if the point is on a line perpendicular to its length while at the centre of a semicircular coil is . Step 2: Analysis
The total magnetic field at O is the vector sum of fields due to the two straight sections ( and ) and the semicircular section ( ). Step 3: Calculation
