Circular loop of a wire and a long straight wire carry currents and 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 is

Options
- A
- B
- C
- D.
Correct answer
A.
Step-by-step solution
Magnetic field due to a circular loop at the centre of the loop is . Magnetic field due to a straight line at the centre of the loop is
Both these fields act in opposite direction hence total magnetic field at the centre of the loop is
