JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 4. Moving charges and magnetism

A hairpin like shape as shown in figure is made by bending a long current carrying wire. What is the magnitude of a magnetic field at point \(P\) which lies on the centre of the semicircle ?

  1. A \(\frac{\mu_{0} I }{4 \pi r }(2-\pi)\)
  2. B \(\frac{\mu_{0} I }{4 \pi r }(2+\pi)\)
  3. C \(\frac{\mu_{0} I }{2 \pi r }(2+\pi)\)
  4. D \(\frac{\mu_{0} I }{2 \pi r }(2-\pi)\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{\mu_{0} I }{4 \pi r }(2+\pi)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(B =2 \times B _{ \text { straight.wire }}+ B _{\text {loop }}\) \(B =2 \times \frac{\mu_{0} i }{4 \pi r }+\frac{\mu_{0} i }{2 r }\left(\frac{\pi}{2 \pi}\right)\) \(B =\frac{\mu_{0} i }{4 \pi r }(2+\pi)\)
