 Detailed Solution:The magnetic field B is calculated as: 
 B = 2 * (μ? I / 4πr) + (μ? I / 4πr) = (μ? I / 4πr) * (2 + π)

If currents are flowing in same direction, magnetic field will cancel each other, so the currents must flowing in opposite direction
I = 30 A

When the ring rotates about its axis with a uniform frequency fHz, the current flowing in the ring is
I=q/T=qf
Magnetic field at the centre of the ring is
