TS EAMCET · Physics · Magnetic Effects of Current

A current of \(1 \mathrm{~A}\) is flowing along the sides of an equilateral triangle of side \(4.5 \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{~m}\). The magnetic field at the centroid of the triangle is \(\left(\mu_0=4 \pi \times 10^{-7} \mathrm{H} / \mathrm{m}\right)\)

  1. A \(4 \times 10^{-5} \mathrm{~T}\)
  2. B \(2 \times 10^{-5} \mathrm{~T}\)
  3. C \(4 \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{~T}\)
  4. D \(2 \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{~T}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(2 \times 10^{-5} \mathrm{~T}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let the centroid of the triangle is \(O\), magnetic field due to side \(A B\) \[ B_1=\frac{\mu_0}{4 \pi} \cdot \frac{i}{r}\left(\sin \phi_1+\sin \phi_2\right) \] where, \(r\) is perpendicular distance of \(A B\) from centroid \(O\). The magnetic field due to each side is same in…
