Consider we have a closed encircles several conductors. The line integrtal ∮B→⋅dl→ around this curve is 3.83×10−4T⋅m  a) We need to find the net current in the conductors. We know that,  ∮B→⋅dl→=μ0Iencl  so,  3.83×10−4T⋅m=μ0Iencl  or, Iencl=3.83×10−4T⋅mμ0=3.83×10−4T⋅m4π×10−7T⋅mA=305A  If we instead went around the path in the opposite direction, the sign of the line integral would be reserved. Since at each point on the curve the direction of dl→ is reserved. That is,  ∮B→⋅dl→=−3.83×10−4T⋅m
