JEE Advanced · Physics · 20. Magnetism & Current

A steady current \(I\) goes through a wire loop \(P Q R\) having shape of a right angle triangle with \(P Q=3 x, P R=4 x\) and \(Q R=5 x\). If the magnitude of the magnetic field at \(P\) due to this loop is \(k\left(\frac{\mu_0 I}{48 \pi x}\right)\), find the value of \(k\).

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 7

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Magnetic field at point \(P\) due to wires \(R P\) and \(R Q\) is zero. Only wire \(Q R\) will produce magnetic field at \(P\).
\(
r=3 x \cos 37^{\circ}=(3 x)\left(\frac{4}{5}\right)=\frac{12 x}{5}
