Which one of the following options represents the magnetic field B→\overset{\to}{B} at OO due to the current flowing in the given wire segments lying on the xyxy plane?

Which one of the following options represents the magnetic field → B at O due to the current flowing in the given wire

Options

  1. A\overset{\to}{B} = \dfrac{- {\mu}_{0}I}{L}\left(\dfrac{3}{2} + \dfrac{1}{4\sqrt{2}\pi}\right)\overset{^}{k}
  2. B\overset{\to}{B} = \dfrac{- {\mu}_{0}I}{L}\left(\dfrac{3}{2} + \dfrac{1}{2\sqrt{2}\pi}\right)\overset{^}{k}
  3. C\overset{\to}{B} = \dfrac{- {\mu}_{0}I}{L}\left(1 + \dfrac{1}{4\sqrt{2}\pi}\right)\overset{^}{k}
  4. D\overset{\to}{B} = \dfrac{- {\mu}_{0}I}{L}\left(1 + \dfrac{1}{4\pi}\right)\overset{^}{k}

Correct answer

C. \overset{\to}{B} = \dfrac{- {\mu}_{0}I}{L}\left(1 + \dfrac{1}{4\sqrt{2}\pi}\right)\overset{^}{k}

Step-by-step solution

Which one of the following options represents the magnetic field → B at O due to the current flowing in the given wire

Magnetic field due to a straight wire will be zero if the line of the wire passes through the point of interest. Therefore, In the above figure,

BBC+BDE+BFG=0{B}_{BC} + {B}_{DE} + {B}_{FG} = 0

Therefore,

B→net=B→AB+B→CD+B→EF\overset{\to}{B}net = \overset{\to}{B}AB + \overset{\to}{B}CD + \overset{\to}{B}EF

Magnetic field due to a finite wire is given by,

B=μ0I4\pid(sinα+sinβ)B = \dfrac{{\mu}_{0}I}{4\pid}\left(sin\alpha + sin\beta\right)

Using above formula,

\overset{\to}{B}AB = \dfrac{{\mu}_{0}I}{4\piL} \times \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\left(- \overset{^}{k}\right)

Magnetic field due to a circular arc is,

B=μ0I2R×θ2πB = \dfrac{{\mu}_{0}I}{2R} \times \dfrac{\theta}{2\pi}

Therefore,

B→CD=μ0I4(L2)\overset{\to}{B}CD = \dfrac{{\mu}_{0}I}{4\left(\dfrac{L}{2}\right)}\left(- \overset{^}{k}\right) and \overset{\to}{B}EF = \dfrac{{\mu}_{0}I}{8 \times \left(\dfrac{L}{4}\right)}\left(- \overset{^}{k}\right)

Therefore, net magnetic field

\overset{\to}{B}net = \dfrac{{\mu}_{0}I}{4\pi \times L}\left(\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right) + \dfrac{{\mu}_{0}I}{4\left(\dfrac{L}{2}\right)} + \dfrac{{\mu}_{0}I}{8 \times \left(\dfrac{L}{4}\right)}\left(- \overset{^}{k}\right)

⇒ \overset{\to}{B}net = \left(\dfrac{{\mu}_{0}I}{2L} + \dfrac{{\mu}_{0}I}{2L} + \dfrac{{\mu}_{0}I}{4\sqrt{2}\piL}\right)\left(- \overset{^}{k}\right)

⇒ \overset{\to}{B}net = \dfrac{{\mu}_{0}I}{L}\left(1 + \dfrac{1}{4\sqrt{2}\pi}\right)\left(- \overset{^}{k}\right)
