$A$ wire carrying current $I$ has the shape as shown in the adjoining figure. The linear parts of the wire are very long and parallel to the $X$-axis,while the semicircular portion of radius $R$ lies in the $Y-Z$ plane. The magnetic field at point $O$ is:

  • A
    $\overrightarrow {B} = \frac{{\mu _0}I}{{4\pi R}}\left( {\pi \hat i + 2\hat k} \right)$
  • B
    $\overrightarrow {B} = - \frac{{\mu _0}I}{{4\pi R}}\left( {\pi \hat i - 2\hat k} \right)$
  • C
    $\overrightarrow {B} = - \frac{{\mu _0}I}{{4\pi R}}\left( {\pi \hat i + 2\hat k} \right)$
  • D
    $\overrightarrow {B} = \frac{{\mu _0}I}{{4\pi R}}\left( {\pi \hat i - 2\hat k} \right)$
