Detailed Solution
Centroid G of the triangle is equidistant from the conductors A, B and C. As a result, each of the three conductors produces magnetic field at G of magnitude B, but in different directions such that BA→,BB→ and BC→ from a closed triangle as shown. Hence the resultant field at G is zero.
