The correct answer is:
$\mathrm{n} \frac{\mu_{0} \mathrm{I}}{2 \pi \mathrm{R}} \tan \frac{\pi}{\mathrm{n}}$
$\begin{aligned} \mathrm{B}_{\text {net }} &=\mathrm{n} \times \mathrm{B}_{1} \\ &=\mathrm{n} \cdot \frac{\mu_{0}}{4 \pi} \cdot \frac{\mathrm{I}}{\mathrm{R} \cos \frac{\pi}{\mathrm{n}}} 2 \sin \frac{\pi}{\mathrm{n}} \end{aligned}$
