  1. A \( \frac{\mu_0 I}{R} \)
  2. B Zero
  3. C \( \frac{2\mu_0 I}{R} \)
  4. D \( \frac{\mu_0 I}{\sqrt{2} R} \)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \( \frac{\mu_0 I}{\sqrt{2} R} \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Magnetic field from each loop: \( B_L = \frac{\mu_0 I}{2R} \) Net magnetic field (perpendicular vectors): \( B_{net} = \sqrt{B_L^2 + B_L^2} = \sqrt{2 B_L^2} = B_L \sqrt{2} \) \( B_{net} = \frac{\mu_0 I}{2R} \sqrt{2} = \frac{\mu_0 I}{\sqrt{2} R} \)
