Answer:

I will explain the concept of magnetic field and how it can be calculated.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for magnetic field at the center of a loop is given as

B = μ
_(o)I / 2R

where B is the magnetic field

R is the radius of the loop

I is the current

and μ
_(o) is the magnetic permeability of free space which is a constant 4π ×
10^(-7) newtons/ampere²

If the magnetic field at the center of the loop is 0, then μ
_(o)I = 0

I = 0 which means there will be no current flow in the loop.
