An infinitely long conductor PQR is bent to form a right angle as shown in figure. A current I flows through PQR. The magnetic field due to this current at the point M is H1. Now, another infinitely long straight conductor QS

is connected at Q so that current is I/2 in QR as well as in QS, the current in PQ remaining unchanged. The magnetic field at M is now H2. The ratio H1/H2 is given by
  1. 1/2
  2. 1
  3. 2/3
  4. 2

Answer

(C) 2/3
