Along straight wire carries a current $I$. A rectangular loop of sides $a$ and $b$ is placed in the same plane such that the side of length $a$ is parallel to the wire at a distance $d$ from it. Calculate the magnetic flux $\Phi$ through the loop.

  1. A.$\frac{\mu_0 I a}{2\pi} \ln(1 + \frac{b}{d})$
  2. B.$\frac{\mu_0 I b}{2\pi} \ln(1 + \frac{a}{d})$
  3. C.$\frac{\mu_0 I a}{2\pi} \ln(\frac{d}{d+b})$
  4. D.$\frac{\mu_0 I b}{2\pi} \ln(\frac{d}{d+a})$
