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
Eight wires cut the page perpendicularly at the points shown in Fig. 29-69. A wire labeled with the integer k (k = 1, 2, ... , 8) carries the current ki, where i = 4.50 rnA. For those wires with odd k, the current is out of the page; for those with even k, it is into the page. Evaluate ~ B d'S along the closed path in the direction shown.
Solution
The first step in solving 29 problem number 46 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Eight wires cut the page perpendicularly at the points shown in Fig. 29-69. A wire labeled with the integer k (k = 1, 2, ... , 8) carries the current ki, where i = 4.50 rnA. For those wires with odd k, the current is out of the page; for those with even k, it is into the page. Evaluate ~ B d'S along the closed path in the direction shown.
From the textbook chapter MAGNETIC FIELDS DUE TO CURRENTS you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
