A symmetric star shaped conducting wire loop is carrying a steady state current as shown in the figure. The distance between the diametrically opposite vertices of the star is .
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
B.
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.
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.
