Four long straight thin wires are held vertically at the corners A, B, C and D of a square of side 'a', kept on a table and carry equal current 'I'. The wire at A carries current in upward direction whereas the current in the remaining wires flows in downward direction. The net magnetic field at the centre of the square will have the magnitude :
