The correct answer is: B=-μ0IL1+142πk^

Magnetic field due to a straight wire will be zero if the line of the wire passes through the point of interest. Therefore, In the above figure,

BBC+BDE+BFG=0

Therefore,

Bnet =BAB+BCD +BEF

Magnetic field due to a finite wire is given by,

B=μ0I4πdsinα+sinβ

Using above formula,

BAB=μ0I4πL×12-k^

Magnetic field due to a circular arc is,

B=μ0I2R×θ2π

Therefore,

BCD=μ0I4L2-k^ and BEF=μ0I8×L4-k^

Therefore, net magnetic field

Bnet=μ0I4π×L12+μ0I4L2+μ0I8×L4-k^

Bnet=μ0I2L+μ0I2L+μ0I42πL-k^

Bnet=μ0IL1+142π-k^
