Physics Question on Magnetic Field
The magnetic field at the centre O of the arc shown in the figure is
A
2I(2+π)×r10−7
B
2I(2+4π)×r10−7
C
I(2+π)×r10−7
D
I(2+4π)×r10−7
Answer
2I(2+4π)×r10−7
Explanation
Solution
Here, a=2r Magnetic field at point O due to AB is B1=4πμ0aI=4π(r/2)μ0I Magnetic field at point O due to BCD is B2=4πrμ0I(2π) Magnetic field at point O due to DE is B3=4πaμ0I=4π(r/2)μ0I Resultant magnetic field at point O is B=B1+B2+B3 =4π(r/2)μ0I+4πrμ0I(2π)+4π(r/2)μ0I =4πrμ0I(2+2π+2)=4πrμ0I(22+2π) =4πrμ02I(2+4π) =r10−7×2I(2+4π)[∵4πμ0=10−7]
