Options:
  • A $\frac{\mu_0}{4 \pi} \frac{i}{R}(2+\pi)$
  • B $\frac{\mu_d}{2 \pi R}$
  • C $\frac{\mu_0}{2} \frac{i}{R}$
  • D $\frac{\mu_0}{4} \frac{i}{R}$

The correct answer is: $\frac{\mu_0}{4 \pi} \frac{i}{R}(2+\pi)$
Magnetic field at point $O=$ Magnetic field due to wire l + Magnetic field due to semi-circle + Magnetic field due to wire 2


$$
\therefore B_{\text {at } O}=\frac{\mu_0 i}{4 \pi R}+\frac{\mu_0 i}{4 R}+\frac{\mu_0 i}{4 \pi R}=\frac{\mu_0 i}{4 \pi R}(2+\pi)
$$
