JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 4. Moving charges and magnetism

A current \(i\) is flowing in a straight conductor of length \(L.\) The magnetic induction at a point on its axis at a distance \(\frac {L}{4}\) from its centre will be

  1. A \(\frac{{4{\mu _0}i}}{{\sqrt 5 \pi L}}\)
  2. B \(\frac{{{\mu _0}i}}{{2\pi L}}\)
  3. C \(\frac{{{\mu _0}i}}{{\sqrt 2 L}}\)
  4. D \(Zero\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{{4{\mu _0}i}}{{\sqrt 5 \pi L}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(B=\frac{\mu_{0} i}{4 \pi R}\left(\sin \theta_{1}+\sin \theta_{2}\right)\) \(\sin \theta_{2}=\frac{L / 2}{\sqrt{(L / 2)^{2}+(L / 2)^{2}}}=\frac{1}{2(\sqrt{1 / 4+1 / 16})}=\frac{2}{\sqrt{5}}\)…
