A symmetric star shaped conducting wire loop is carrying a steady state current II as shown in the figure. The distance between the diametrically opposite vertices of the star is 4a4a .
A symmetric star shaped conducting wire loop is carrying a steady state current I as shown in the figure. The distance

Options

  1. Aμ0I4\pia3[3−1]\dfrac{{\mu}_{0}I}{4\pia}3\left[\sqrt{3} - 1\right]
  2. Bμ0I4\pia6[3−1]\dfrac{{\mu}_{0}I}{4\pia}6\left[\sqrt{3} - 1\right]
  3. Cμ0I4\pia6[3+1]\dfrac{{\mu}_{0}I}{4\pia}6\left[\sqrt{3} + 1\right]
  4. Dμ0I4\pia3[2−3]\dfrac{{\mu}_{0}I}{4\pia}3\left[2 - \sqrt{3}\right]

Correct answer

B. μ0I4\pia6[3−1]\dfrac{{\mu}_{0}I}{4\pia}6\left[\sqrt{3} - 1\right]

Step-by-step solution

The given points (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) makes 360o angle at ‘O’. Hence angle made by vertices 1 and 2 with ‘O’ is 60o.

A symmetric star shaped conducting wire loop is carrying a steady state current I as shown in the figure. The distance

Direction of magnetic field at ‘O’ due to each segment is same. Since it is symmetric star shape, magnitude will also be same.

Magnetic field due to section BC.

(B1)=kia(sin⁡(60°)−sin⁡30°)=ki2a(3−1)\left({B}_{1}\right) = \dfrac{ki}{a}\left(\sin \left(60°\right) - \sin 30°\right) = \dfrac{ki}{2a}\left(\sqrt{3} - 1\right)

Bnet=12×B1=6kia(3−1)and(k=μ04π){B}_{net} = 12 \times {B}_{1} = \dfrac{6ki}{a}\left(\sqrt{3} - 1\right)and\left(k = \dfrac{{\mu}_{0}}{4\pi}\right)
