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


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