JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 4. Moving charges and magnetism
Find the magnetic field at the point \(P\) in figure. The curved portion is a semicircle connected to two long straight wires.

- A \(\frac{\mu_0 i}{2 r}\left(1+\frac{2}{\pi}\right)\)
- B \(\frac{\mu_0 i}{2 r}\left(1+\frac{1}{\pi}\right)\)
- C \(\frac{\mu_0 i}{2 r}\left(\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2 \pi}\right)\)
- D \(\frac{\mu_0 i}{2 r}\left(\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{\pi}\right)\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) \(\frac{\mu_0 i}{2 r}\left(\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2 \pi}\right)\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(B_{ P }=\left(\frac{\mu_0 i}{4 r}+\frac{\mu_0 i}{4 \pi r}\right)=\frac{\mu_0 i}{2 r}\left(\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2 \pi}\right)\)

The concave mirror is to the right of the convex lens. When an object is kept at a distance of \(30\, cm\) to the left of the convex lens, its image remains at the same position even if the concave mirror is removed. The maximum distance of the object for which this concave mirror, by itself would produce a virtual image would be.....\(cm\)JEE Mains 2019 Hard
