TS EAMCET · Physics · Magnetic Effects of Current

A current \(I\) flows in a straight wire bent in the shape of a quarter ring of radius \(R\) as shown in figure. The magnetic field induction \(B\) at point \(O\) is

  1. A \(\frac{\mu_0 l}{4 R}\)
  2. B \(\frac{\mu_0 I}{8 R}\)
  3. C \(\frac{\mu_0 l}{2 R}\)
  4. D \(\frac{\mu_0 l}{6 R}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{\mu_0 I}{8 R}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Magnetic field at centre of a complete current carrying circular loop is \(B=\frac{\mu_0 I}{2 R}\) For one quarter of loop, \(B=\frac{1}{4} \times \frac{\mu_0 I}{2 R}=\frac{1}{8}\left(\frac{\mu_0 I}{R}\right) \mathrm{T}\)
