A wire \(A\), bent in the shape of an arc of a circle, carrying a current of \(2\, A\) and having radius \(2\, cm\) and another wire \(B ,\) also bent in the shape of arc of a circle, carrying a current of \(3\, A\) and having radius of \(4\, cm ,\) are placed as shown in the figure. The ratio of the magnetic fields due to the wires \(A\) and \(B\) at the common centre \(O\) is

Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) \(6:5\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Given \(i_{A}=2, r_{A}=2 cm , \theta_{A}=2 \pi-\frac{\pi}{2}=\frac{3 \pi}{2}\)
\(i_{B}=3, r_{B}=4 cm , \theta_{B}=2 \pi-\frac{\pi}{3}=\frac{5 \pi}{3}\)
\(B=\frac{\mu_{0} I \theta}{4 \pi R}\)
\(\frac{B_{A}}{B_{B}}=\frac{I_{A}}{I_{B}} \times \frac{\theta_{A} R_{B}}{\theta_{B} R_{A}}=\frac{6}{5}\)
