A circular coil of radius 'R' is carrying a current ' \(\mathrm{I}_{1}\) ' in anticlockwise sense. A long straight wire is carrying current ' \(\mathrm{I}_{2}\) ' in the negative direction of \(\mathrm{x}\) axis. Both are placed in the same plane and the distance between centre of coil and straight wire is 'd'. The magnetic field at the centre of coil will be zero for the value of 'd' equal to

  1. A \(\frac{\pi}{R}\left(\frac{\mathrm{I}_{1}}{\mathrm{I}_{2}}\right)\)
  2. B \(\frac{\pi}{R}\left(\frac{\mathrm{I}_{2}}{\mathrm{R}_{1}}\right)\)
  3. C \(\frac{\mathrm{R}}{\pi}\left(\frac{\mathrm{I}_{2}}{\mathrm{I}_{1}}\right)\)
  4. D \(\frac{\mathrm{R}}{\pi}\left(\frac{\mathrm{I}_{1}}{\mathrm{I}_{2}}\right)\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{\mathrm{R}}{\pi}\left(\frac{\mathrm{I}_{2}}{\mathrm{I}_{1}}\right)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(C)
Magnetic field at the centre due to coil
\(\begin{array}{l}
\mathrm{B}_{1}=\frac{\mu_{0} \mathrm{I}_{1}}{2 \mathrm{R}} \\
\mathrm{B}_{2}=\frac{\mu_{0} \mathrm{I}_{2}}{2 \pi \mathrm{d}} \\
\mathrm{B}_{1}=\mathrm{B}_{2} \\
\frac{\mu_{0} \mathrm{I}_{1}}{2 \mathrm{R}}=\frac{\mu_{0} \mathrm{I}_{2}}{2 \pi \mathrm{d}} \\
\mathrm{d}=\frac{\mu_{0} \mathrm{I}_{2}}{\mu_{0} \mathrm{I}_{1}} \frac{2 \mathrm{R}}{2 \pi} \\
\mathrm{d}=\frac{\mathrm{I}_{2} \mathrm{R}}{\mathrm{I}_{1} \pi}
\end{array}\)
