A current is flowing through the loop. The direction of the current and the shape of the loop are as shown in the figure. The magnetic field at the centre of the loop is times

Options
- A, but out of the plane of the paper.
- B, but into the plane of the paper.
- C, but out of the plane of the paper.
- D, but into the plane of the paper.
Correct answer
D. , but into the plane of the paper.
Step-by-step solution
Magnetic field at the centre due to current through the curved portion is
=\frac{3 \mu_0 I}{8 R} \otimesMA BB_2=0MA BMB C\vec{B}_3=\frac{\mu_0 I}{4 \pi 2 R} \times \frac{\pi}{2}=\frac{\mu_0 I}{16 R} \otimesMC DB_4=0MC DM$
