The Earth's magnetic field at a given point is \( 0.5 \times 10^{-5} \text{ Wb/m}^2 \).
This field is to be annulled by magnetic induction at the center of a circular conducting loop of radius 5 cm.
The current required to be flown in the loop is nearly:

  1. A 4 A
  2. B 0.2 A
  3. C 0.4 A
  4. D 20 A
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 0.4 A

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(B = \frac{\mu_0 I}{2r}\) \(I = \frac{2rB}{\mu_0}\) \(I = \frac{2 \times 0.05 \text{ m} \times 0.5 \times 10^{-5} \text{ T}}{4\pi \times 10^{-7} \text{ T}\cdot\text{m/A}}\) \(I \approx 0.4 \text{ A}\)
