Suppose there is a square wire loop (side a), lying in the yz plane with the corners of (0,0,0), (0,a,0), (0,a,a), and (0,0,a), which carries a steady current "I". Calculate the magnetic field at (0,-a,0) point. (Hint: Use Biot-Savart Law and Superposition principle. Net field is the (vector) sum of the fields due to each side taken separately.)
