Question

Calculate the magnetic field (magnitude and direction) at a point $P$ due to a current $I =$ 12.0 A in the wire shown in $\textbf{Fig. P28.68}$. Segment $BC$ is an arc of a circle with radius 30.0 cm, and point $P$ is at the center of curvature of the arc. Segment $DA$ is an arc of a circle with radius 20.0 cm, and point $P$ is at its center of curvature. Segments $CD$ and $AB$ are straight lines of length 10.0 cm each.
