Detailed Solution

The magnetic field at P(a, 0, a) due to the loop is equal to the vector sum of the magnetic fields produced by loops ABCDA and AFEBA as shown in the figure. Magnetic field due to loop ABCDA will be along i^ and due to loop AFEBA along k^ Magnitude of magnetic field due to both the loops will be equal. Therefore, direction of resultant magnetic field at P 12  i^+k^
