Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\frac{\mu_{0} i(\pi-1)}{2 \pi R}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Magnetic field at centre \(O=\) magnetic field due to reaction \(A B+\) magnetic field due to section \(P Q R\)
\(
B_{0}=B_{A B}+B_{P Q R}
\)

but \(B_{A B}=\frac{\mu_{0} i}{2 \pi R}\) (upside the plane of paper)
and \(B_{P Q R}=\frac{\mu_{0} i}{2 R}\) (inside the plane of paper)
Hence \(B_{0}=\frac{\mu_{0} i}{2 R}-\frac{\mu_{0} i}{2 \pi R}\)
\(
B_{0}=\frac{\mu_{0} i(\pi-1)}{2 \pi R}
\)
