An infinitely long conductor $PQR$ is bent to form a right angle as shown. A current $I$ flows through $PQR$ The magnetic field due to this current at the point $M $ is $H_1$. Now another infinitely long straight conductor $QS$ is connected at $Q$ so that the current is $I/2$ in $QR$ as well as in $QS$, The current in $PQ$ remaining unchanged. The magnetic field at $M$ is now ${H_{2.}}$The ratio ${H_1}/{H_2}$ is given by
  • A$0.5$
  • B$1$
  • C$0.67$
  • D$2$
