Two identical wires AAA and BBB, each of length lll, carry the same current III . Wire AAA is bent into a circle of radius RRR and wire BBB is bent to form a square of side aaa. If BA{B}_{A}BA​ and BB{B}_{B}BB​ are the values of magnetic field at the centres of the circle and square respectively, then the ratio BABB\frac{{B}_{A}}{{B}_{B}}BB​BA​​ is
