(18) (b) Current distribution in the network is as shown.
Now , consider the pair of wires AB and GH. As current
in these wires produce equal but opposite magnetic
fields at centre O of the cube, resultant field due to the
pair is zero.

We can see five such more pairs namely :

(ii) AD, FI
(iiii) B C, EH
(iv) EF , DC
(v) BF, OH
Magnetic field due to each of these pairs is zero.
Therefore, resultant magnetic field at centre O is zero.
