COMEDK · Physics · 21. Magnetic Effects of Current


The magnetic field at the centre of a wire loop formed by two semicircular wires of radii \(r_1\) = 3.14m and \(r_2\) = 6.28m and carrying a current of I =2A is:

  1. A \(3 \times 10^{-7}\ T\)
  2. B \(6 \times 10^{-7}\ T\)
  3. C \(4 \times 10^{-7}\ T\)
  4. D \(2 \times 10^{-7}\ T\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(3 \times 10^{-7}\ T\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The magnetic field at the centre of the loop is the vector sum of the magnetic fields produced by the four segments of the wire: two straight segments and two semicircular arcs. For the straight segments, the line of action of the current passes through the centre of the loop.…
