Ampere's law

The Attempt at a Solution



I tried to use ampere's law, but I'm a bit confused what I should do.
I don't know very well what i can do, if someone could help i appreciate.

Try to articulate the trouble you are having.

You know how to find B due to a current in the whole wire right?
I'm guessing the trouble is the holes - is that correct?
So apply the superposition principle.
