To solve the problem, we will break it down into two parts: (a) finding the magnetic field at the center of an equilateral triangle and (b) finding the magnetic field at the center of a square. ### Part (a): Magnetic Field at the Center of an Equilateral Triangle 1. **Understanding the Geometry**: - An equilateral triangle has three equal sides. Let the length of each side be \( \frac{L}{3} \) since the total length of the wire is \( L \). - The angles of the equilateral triangle are \( 60^\circ \). ...
