$A$ current $I$ flows in an anticlockwise direction in a circular arc of a wire having $\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)^{\text{th}}$ of the circumference of a circle of radius $R$. The magnetic field $B$ at the centre of the circle is $(\mu_0 = \text{permeability of free space})$

  • A
    $\frac{\mu_0 I}{3 R}$ in upward direction
  • B
    $\frac{\mu_0 I}{2 R}$ in downward direction
  • C
    $\frac{3 \mu_0 I}{8 R}$ in downward direction
  • D
    $\frac{3 \mu_0 I}{8 R}$ in upward direction
