Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{\mu_0 \mathrm{I}}{64 \mathrm{r}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The magnetic field due to current carrying circular arc is \(\mathrm{B}=\frac{\mu_0 \mathrm{I}}{2 \mathrm{r}}\left(\frac{\theta}{2 \pi}\right)\)
Here, \(\theta=\frac{\pi}{16}\)
\(\begin{aligned}
\therefore \quad \mathrm{B} & =\frac{\mu_0 \mathrm{I}}{2 \mathrm{r}}\left(\frac{1}{2 \pi} \times \frac{\pi}{16}\right) \\
\mathrm{B} & =\frac{\mu_0 \mathrm{I}}{2 \mathrm{r}}\left(\frac{1}{32}\right) \\
\mathrm{B} & =\frac{\mu_0 \mathrm{I}}{64 \mathrm{r}}
\end{aligned}\)
