Physics Question on Magnetic Field

Two wires AO and OC carry equal currents i as shown in Fig. One end of both the wires extends to infinity. Angle AOC is α. The magnitude of magnetic field is point P on the bisector of these two wires at a distance r from point O is

A

μ02πrircotα2\frac{μ_0}{2πr}\frac{i}{r}cot\frac{α}{2}

B

μ04πrircotα2\frac{μ_0}{4πr}\frac{i}{r}cot\frac{α}{2}

C

μ02πir1+cos(α2)sinα2\frac{μ_0}{2π}\frac{i}{r}\frac{1+cos(\frac{α}{2})}{sin\frac{α}{2}}

D

μ04πrirα2\frac{μ_0}{4πr}\frac{i}{r}\frac{α}{2}

Answer

μ02πir1+cos(α2)sinα2\frac{μ_0}{2π}\frac{i}{r}\frac{1+cos(\frac{α}{2})}{sin\frac{α}{2}}
