WBJEE · Physics · Magnetic Effects of Current



Consider two infinitely long wires parallel to Z-axis carrying same current I in the positive Z direction. One wire passes through the point \(L\) at coordinates \((-1,+1)\) and the other wire passes through the point \(M\) at coordinates \((-1,-1)\). The resultant magnetic field at the origin \(\mathrm{O}\) will be

  1. A \(\frac{\mu_{0} I}{2 \sqrt{2 \pi}} \hat{\mathrm{j}}\)
  2. B \(\frac{\mu_{0} I}{2 \pi} \hat{j}\)
  3. C \(\frac{\mu_{0} \mathrm{I}}{2 \sqrt{2 \pi}} \hat{\mathrm{i}}\)
  4. D \(\frac{\mu_{0} I}{4 \pi} \hat{j}\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{\mu_{0} I}{2 \pi} \hat{j}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{B}_{\text {net }}=\sqrt{2} \mathrm{~B}\) where \(\mathrm{B}=\frac{\mu_{0} \mathrm{I}}{2 \pi \mathrm{r}}\) \(\mathrm{B}_{\text {net }}=\frac{\mu_{0} \mathrm{I}}{2 \pi \mathrm{r}} \sqrt{2} \hat{\mathrm{j}}\)…
