AP EAMCET · PHYSICS · Magnetic Effects of Current

If a wire of length ' \(L\) ' carrying a current ' \(i\) ' is bent in the shape of a semi-circular arc as shown in the figure, then the magnetic field at centre of the arc is

  1. A \(\frac{\pi \mu_{\mathrm{o}} \mathrm{i}}{4 \mathrm{~L}}\)
  2. B \(\frac{\pi \mu_{\mathrm{o}} \mathrm{i}}{2 \mathrm{~L}}\)
  3. C \(\frac{\mu_{\mathrm{o}} \mathrm{i}}{2 \pi \mathrm{~L}}\)
  4. D \(\frac{\mu_{\mathrm{o}} \mathrm{i}}{4 \pi \mathrm{~L}}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{\pi \mu_{\mathrm{o}} \mathrm{i}}{4 \mathrm{~L}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(L = \pi R \Rightarrow R = \frac{L}{\pi}\) \(B = \frac{\mu_0 i}{4R} = \frac{\mu_0 i}{4(\frac{L}{\pi})} = \frac{\pi \mu_0 i}{4L}\)
