- A \(\frac{\mu_0 \mathrm{I}}{4}\left[\frac{1}{\mathrm{R}_1}-\frac{1}{\mathrm{R}_2}\right]\)
- B \(\frac{\mu_0 \mathrm{I}}{4}\left[\frac{1}{\mathrm{R}_2}-\frac{1}{\mathrm{R}_1}\right]\)
- C \(\frac{\mu_0 \mathrm{I}}{2 \pi}\left[\frac{1}{\mathrm{R}_1}-\frac{1}{\mathrm{R}_2}\right]\)
- D \(\frac{\mu_0 \mathrm{I}}{2 \pi}\left[\frac{1}{\mathrm{R}_2}-\frac{1}{\mathrm{R}_1}\right]\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) \(\frac{\mu_0 \mathrm{I}}{4}\left[\frac{1}{\mathrm{R}_2}-\frac{1}{\mathrm{R}_1}\right]\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(B_{net} = B_{inner} - B_{outer}\) \(B_{net} = \frac{\mu_0 I}{4R_2} - \frac{\mu_0 I}{4R_1}\)
