In Fig. $30-29$, a straight wire of length $a$ carries a current $i$. Show that the magnitude of the magnetic field produced by the current at point $P$ is $B=\sqrt{2} \mu_{0}|i| / 8 \pi a .$
A square loop of wire, of side $d$ , carries a current $I .$ Show that the magnetic field at the center of the square is $B=\frac{2 \sqrt{2} \mu_{0} I}{\pi d}$
