AP EAMCET · PHYSICS · Magnetic Effects of Current

Two concentric coils each of radius equal to 4πcm are placed at right angles to each other. If 10 A and 24 A are the currents flowing through the coils, respectively, the magnetic induction at the center of the coils will be

  1. A 13×10-5 Wb m-2
  2. B 12×10-5 Wb m-2
  3. C 7×10-5 Wb m-2
  4. D 5×10-5 Wb m-2
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 13×10-5 Wb m-2

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Magnetic field due to the coil, B1=μ0i2r ⇒B1=μ0×1024π×10-2=μ0×10×1028π ⇒B1=10×10-52=5×10-5 T similarly, ⇒B2=24×10-52=12×10-5 T ⇒B=B12+B22=13×10-5 wb m-2
