Options

  1. A12×10−5T12 \times {10}^{- 5}T
  2. B4×10−5T4 \times {10}^{- 5}T
  3. C42×10−5T4\sqrt{2} \times {10}^{- 5}T
  4. D22×10−5T2\sqrt{2} \times {10}^{- 5}T

Correct answer

C. 42×10−5T4\sqrt{2} \times {10}^{- 5}T

Step-by-step solution

Given, current through the square loop is 2A2A.

The magnetic field at the centre O & of& the current-carrying square loop shown in the figure& is

I=2AI = 2A

The given situation is shown in the figure. Magnetic field due to wire ABAB at the centre OO is

BAB=μ04π⋅Ir[sin⁡45°+sin⁡45°]{B}_{AB} = \dfrac{\mu0}{4\pi} \cdot \dfrac{I}{r} \left[\sin 45 ° + \sin 45 °\right]

=10−7×22×10−2[12+12]= {10}^{- 7} \times \dfrac{2}{2 \times {10}^{- 2}}\left[\dfrac{1}{2} + \dfrac{1}{2}\right]

=2×10−5T= \sqrt{2} \times {10}^{- 5}T [Downward to the plane of square loop]

Since, magnetic field due to side AB,BC,CDAB, BC, CD and DADA is same in magnitude and direction.

Hence, net magnetic field at OO

B=4×BAB=42×10−5TB = 4 \times {B}_{AB} = 4\sqrt{2} \times {10}^{- 5}T
