Explanation
To solve this problem, we need to find the magnetic field at point P due to the current in the wire.The wire consists of three parts: two straight sections and one semi-circular section.1. Magnetic field due to the straight sections:• The magnetic field at the center of a straight wire is zero because the contributions from opposite sides cancel each other out.2. Magnetic field due to the semi-circular section:
