Join additional at AH and DH carrying same current in opposite
directions. It will not affect the overall loop. Loop ABGH and DCEF
will cancel as their magnetic moment are in opposite directions.

(a) Net magnetic moment of the loop=Magnetic moment of
`ADFH=il^2hati=hatiAm^2`
(b) `vecB=Bhatj, vectau=vecMxxvecB=hatixxBvecJ=BhatkNm`
