MHT CET · Physics · Magnetic Effects of Current

When a battery is connected to the two ends of a diagonal of a square conductor frame of side ' \(a\) ', the magnitude of magnetic field at the center will be ( \(\mu_0=\) permeability of free space)

  1. A \(\frac{\mu_0}{\sqrt{2} \pi \mathrm{a}}\)
  2. B \(\frac{\sqrt{2} \mu_0}{\pi \mathrm{a}}\)
  3. C \(\frac{\mu_0}{\pi \mathrm{a}}\)
  4. D Zero
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) Zero

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation


As shown in the figure, the currents in the parallel sides will produce equal and opposite fields at the center and hence the net magnetic fields at the center will be zero.
