    The current in flowing along the path $A B C D$ of a cube (shown in the left figure) produces a magnetic field at the centre of cube of magnitude $B$. Dashed line depicts the non-conducting part of the cube. Consider a cubical shape shown to the right which is identical in size and shape to the left. If the same current now flows in along the path $D A E F G C D$, then the magnitude of magnetic field at the centre will be
