To find the magnetic field at the center O, we need to consider the contribution from each segment of the current-carrying wire. The total magnetic field will be the vector sum of the fields due to each segment. We will use the right-hand rule to determine the direction of the magnetic field. Let's assume into the page is positive and out of the page is negative.

The configuration consists of:

  1. A semi-infinite straight wire A'A.
  2. A quarter-circle arc AB.
  3. A semi-infinite straight wire B'B.
  4. A semi-infinite straight wire C'C.
  5. A quarter-circle arc CD.
  6. A semi-infinite straight wire
