$A$ current $I$ flows around a closed path in the horizontal plane as shown in the figure. The path consists of eight arcs with alternating radii $r$ and $2r$. Each segment of arc subtends an equal angle at the common centre $P$. The magnetic field produced by the current path at point $P$ is

  • A
    $\frac{3}{8} \frac{\mu_0 I}{r}$; perpendicular to the plane of the paper and directed inward.
  • B
    $\frac{3}{8} \frac{\mu_0 I}{r}$; perpendicular to the plane of the paper and directed outward.
  • C
    $\frac{1}{8} \frac{\mu_0 I}{r}$; perpendicular to the plane of the paper and directed inward.
  • D
    $\frac{1}{8} \frac{\mu_0 I}{r}$; perpendicular to the plane of the paper and directed outward.
