The magnetic field at the centre ' \( \mathrm{O} \) ' in the given figure is

  1. A \( \frac{3}{10} \mu_{0} I \)
  2. B \( \frac{7}{14} \mu_{0} I \)
  3. C \( \frac{\mu_{0} I}{12 R} \)
  4. D \( \frac{5}{12} \frac{\mu_{0} I}{R} \)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \( \frac{5}{12} \frac{\mu_{0} I}{R} \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(D)
Here \( \theta=300^{\circ} \)
\( \therefore \) Number of turns \( n=\frac{300}{360}=\frac{5}{6} \)
\( B=\mu_{0} \frac{n I}{2 R} \) i.e., \( \mu_{0} \frac{5}{6} \times \frac{I}{2 R} \)
\( \therefore B=\frac{5 \mu_{0} I}{12 R} \)
