Circular loop of a wire and a long straight wire carry currents I_c...

Circular loop of a wire and a long straight wire carry currents IcI_c and IeI_e respectively as shown in figure. Assuming that these are placed in the same plane, the magnetic field will be zero at the centre of the loop when separation HH is Circular loop of a wire and a long straight wire carry currents I_c and I_e respectively as shown in figure. Assuming

Options

  1. AIeRIcπ\frac{I_e R}{I_c \pi}
  2. BIcRIeπ\frac{I_c R}{I_e \pi}
  3. CπIcIeR\frac{\pi I_c}{I_e R}
  4. DIeπIcR\frac{I_e \pi}{I_c R}.

Correct answer

A. IeRIcπ\frac{I_e R}{I_c \pi}

Step-by-step solution

Magnetic field due to a circular loop at the centre of the loop is B1=μ04π2πIcRB_1=\frac{\mu_0}{4 \pi} \frac{2 \pi I_c}{R}. Magnetic field due to a straight line at the centre of the loop is B2=μ02Ie4πHB_2=\frac{\mu_0 2 I_e}{4 \pi H} Both these fields act in opposite direction hence total magnetic field at the centre of the loop is B=B1−B2=μ02πIc4πR−μ02Ie4πHB=0 (given). ∴μ02πIc4πR=μ02Ie4πH or, H=IeRπIc.\begin{aligned}& B=B_1-B_2=\frac{\mu_0 2 \pi I_c}{4 \pi R}-\frac{\mu_0 2 I_e}{4 \pi H}\\ & B=0 \text{ (given). }\\ & \therefore \frac{\mu_0 2 \pi I_c}{4 \pi R}=\frac{\mu_0 2 I_e}{4 \pi H} \text{ or, }H=\frac{I_e R}{\pi I_c} . \end{aligned}
