This problem doens't seem hard, but I am rusty on the right hand rule...
Four electric currents, equal in magnitude are arranged at the corners of a square as shown in the figure.

Two currents go into the page (marked by x), and two are pointing out of the page (marked by a dot). Point a is at the center of the square, and points b and c are in the middle of two of the sides. What is the direction of the magnetic field at points a, b, and c?
I am guessing a and b are down and c is zero? Is this right? I am screwed if I get this problem wrong :(
