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


An infinite wire has a circular bend of radius a, and carrying a current I as shown in figure. The magnitude of magnetic field at the origin \(O\) of the arc is given by :

  1. A \(\frac{\mu_0}{4 \pi} \frac{I}{a}\left[\frac{\pi}{2}+1\right]\)
  2. B \(\frac{\mu_0}{4 \pi} \frac{\mathrm{I}}{\mathrm{a}}\left[\frac{3 \pi}{2}+2\right]\)
  3. C \(\frac{\mu_0}{2 \pi} \frac{\mathrm{I}}{\mathrm{a}}\left[\frac{\pi}{2}+2\right]\)
  4. D \(\frac{\mu_0}{4 \pi} \frac{\mathrm{I}}{\mathrm{a}}\left[\frac{3 \pi}{2}+1\right]\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\frac{\mu_0}{4 \pi} \frac{\mathrm{I}}{\mathrm{a}}\left[\frac{3 \pi}{2}+1\right]\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{B}_1=\frac{\mu_0 \mathrm{i}}{4 \pi \mathrm{a}} \otimes \\ & \mathrm{B}_2=\frac{\mu_0}{4 \pi} \frac{\mathrm{i}}{\mathrm{a}}\left(\frac{3 \pi}{2}\right) \otimes \\ & \mathrm{B}_3=0 \\ & \mathrm{~B}=\frac{\mu_0}{4 \pi} \frac{\mathrm{i}}{\mathrm{a}}\left(1…
