Two concentric coils, each of radius \( 2\pi \, \text{cm} \), are placed at right angles to each other. Currents of 3 A and 4 A respectively are flowing through the two coils. The magnetic induction at the center of the coils will be:

A \( 50 \, \mu\text{T} \)
B \( 70 \, \mu\text{T} \)
C \( 12 \, \mu\text{T} \)
D \( 0.1 \, \mu\text{T} \)

Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \( 50 \, \mu\text{T} \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( B_1 = \frac{\mu_0 I_1}{2r} = \frac{4\pi \times 10^{-7} \times 3}{2 \times (2\pi \times 10^{-2})} = 3 \times 10^{-5} \, \text{T} \) \( B_2 = \frac{\mu_0 I_2}{2r} = \frac{4\pi \times 10^{-7} \times 4}{2 \times (2\pi \times 10^{-2})} = 4 \times 10^{-5} \, \text{T} \)…

Apply the relevant identity from the chapter and substitute the values established in the previous step, keeping the original constraint in view.

Use the simplified expression to isolate the unknown, then plug the result back into the question setup to confirm the working is internally consistent.

Cross-check against a boundary or limiting case. Both the dimensional balance and the qualitative behaviour at the extreme should agree with the candidate answer.

Combine the steps above to identify the correct option. The remaining choices each fail at least one of the consistency, dimensional, or boundary checks.
