Two identical long current carrying wires are bent into the shapes shown in the following figures. If the magnitude of magnetic fields at the centres P and Q of a semicircular arc are $\displaystyle \mathrm{B}_1$ and $\displaystyle \mathrm{B}_2$ respectively, then the ratio $\displaystyle \frac{B_1}{B_2}$ is $\displaystyle \_\_\_\_$.
