Question Image

At every point equidistant from the wire, the magnitude of magnetic field is same and its direction is always along the tangent of the circle at that point.

Hence, magnetic fields cannot be same around the wire in a plane. 

At two diametrically opposite points, magnetic fields are opposite.

At every quarter of the circle, the magnetic field becomes perpendicular.
