Question

The arrangement illustrated in the figure below is composed of six finite straight wires of length l. The electric current flowing in such an arrangement is i. Using the Biot-Savart law, calculate:

The magnitude of the magnetic field at point P due to the wire located along segment ab.
The answer is in the second image. I am trying to use the standard biot-savart, which is B = (μ0*I/4π) * ∫dl * sinθ / r^2, and it always gives me 16*pi*l at the denominator, instead of 8pi*l.

Solve it using B = (μ0*I/4π) * ∫dl * sinθ / r^2, and note that the image with the answer is correct.
