Figure 29-23 shows three circuits, each consisting of two radial lengths and two concentric circular arcs, one of radius r and the other of radius R > r. The circuits have the same current through them and the same angle between the two radial lengths. Rank the circuits according to the magnitude of the net magnetic field at the center, greatest first.

Question
Figure 29-25 shows four arrangements in which long parallel wires cany equal currents directly into or out of the page at the corners of identical squares. Rank the arrangements according to the magnitude of the net magnetic field at the center of the square, greatest first.
Solution
The first step in solving 29 problem number 3 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Figure 29-25 shows four arrangements in which long parallel wires cany equal currents directly into or out of the page at the corners of identical squares. Rank the arrangements according to the magnitude of the net magnetic field at the center of the square, greatest first.
From the textbook chapter MAGNETIC FIELDS DUE TO CURRENTS you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
