$A$ circular loop is kept in the vertical plane that contains the north-south direction. It carries a current that is towards the south at the topmost point. Let $A$ be a point on the axis of the circle to the east of it and $B$ be a point on this axis to the west of it. The magnetic field due to the loop is:

  • A
    is towards east at $A$ and towards west at $B$
  • B
    is towards west at $A$ and towards east at $B$
  • C
    is towards east at both $A$ and $B$
  • D
    is towards west at both $A$ and $B$
