Detailed Solution

The straight portions PQ and RS do not produce magnetic field at C. Only the curved portion QR produces a magnetic field at C. Refer to Fig.

Question Image

Since the current dl is perpendicular to position vector r, the magnetic field at C by Biot-Savart law is

dB=μ04πIdl sin90r2=μ04πI×(rdθ)r2 (dl=rdθ_)=μ0I4πr

B=0α1dB=μ0I4πr0α=μ04πr

So the correct choice is (4).
