In the figures given show four different sets of wires that cross each other without actually touching. The magnitude of the current is the same in all four cases and the directions of current flow are as indicated. For which configuration will the magnetic field at the centre of the square formed by the wires be equal to zero?

Six long parallel current carrying wires are perpendicular to the plane of the fig. They pass through the vertices of a regular hexagon of side length a. All wires have same current I. Direction of current is out of the plane of the figure in all the wires except the one passing through vertex F, which has current directed into the plane of the figure. Calculate the magnetic induction field at the centre of the hexagon. Also tell the direction of the field.

A rectangular loop is placed adjacent toa current carrying straight wire as shown in Figure. If the loop is rotated about an axis passing through one of its sides find the direction of induced current in the loop.
