A current of 10 A flow around a closed path in a circuit which is in the horizontal plane as shown in the figure. The circuit consists of eight alternative arcs of radii r_(1)=0.08m and r_(2)=0.12m . Each subtends the same angle at the centre. An infinitely long straight wire carrying a current of 10 A is passing throgh the entre of the above circuit vertically with the direction of the current being into the plane of the circuit.
