There are two infinitely long straight current-carrying conductors...

There are two infinitely long straight current-carrying conductors and they are held at right angles to each other so that their common ends meet at the origin as shown in the figure given below. The ratio of current in both conductors is 1:11: 1. The magnetic field at point PP is_________ .

There are two infinitely long straight current-carrying conductors and they are held at right angles to each other so

Options

  1. Aμ0I4πxy[x2+y2−(x+y)]\dfrac{{\mu}_{0}I}{4\pi xy}\left[\sqrt{{x}^{2} + {y}^{2}} - ( x + y )\right]
  2. Bμ0Ixy4π[x2+y2−(x+y)]\dfrac{{\mu}_{0}Ixy}{4\pi}\left[\sqrt{{x}^{2} + {y}^{2}} - ( x + y )\right]
  3. Cμ0I4πxy[x2+y2+(x+y)]\dfrac{{\mu}_{0}I}{4\pi xy}\left[\sqrt{{x}^{2} + {y}^{2}} + ( x + y )\right]
  4. Dμ0Ixy4π[x2+y2+(x+y)]\dfrac{{\mu}_{0}Ixy}{4\pi}\left[\sqrt{{x}^{2} + {y}^{2}} + ( x + y )\right]

Correct answer

C. μ0I4πxy[x2+y2+(x+y)]\dfrac{{\mu}_{0}I}{4\pi xy}\left[\sqrt{{x}^{2} + {y}^{2}} + ( x + y )\right]

Step-by-step solution

B=μ0I4πy(1+sinθ1)+μ0I4πx(1+sinθ2)B = \dfrac{{\mu}_{0}I}{4\pi y}\left(1 + sin{\theta}_{1}\right) + \dfrac{{\mu}_{0}I}{4\pi x}\left(1 + sin{\theta}_{2}\right)
B=μ0I4πy(1+xx2+y2)+μ0I4πx(1+yx2+y2)B = \dfrac{{\mu}_{0}I}{4\pi y}\left(1 + \dfrac{x}{\sqrt{{x}^{2} + {y}^{2}}}\right) + \dfrac{{\mu}_{0}I}{4\pi x}\left(1 + \dfrac{y}{\sqrt{{x}^{2} + {y}^{2}}}\right)

B=μ0I4πx+μ0I4πy+μ0I4π[xyx2+y2+yxx2+y2]⇒B=μ0I4π[1x+1y]+μ0I4πx2+y2xy=μ0I4π[x+y+x2+y2xy]B = \dfrac{{\mu}_{0}I}{4\pi x} + \dfrac{{\mu}_{0}I}{4\pi y} + \dfrac{{\mu}_{0}I}{4\pi}\left[\dfrac{x}{y\sqrt{{x}^{2} + {y}^{2}}} + \dfrac{y}{x\sqrt{{x}^{2} + {y}^{2}}}\right] ⇒ B = \dfrac{{\mu}_{0}I}{4\pi}\left[\dfrac{1}{x} + \dfrac{1}{y}\right] + \dfrac{{\mu}_{0}I}{4\pi}\dfrac{\sqrt{{x}^{2} + {y}^{2}}}{xy} = \dfrac{{\mu}_{0}I}{4\pi}\left[\dfrac{x + y + \sqrt{{x}^{2} + {y}^{2}}}{xy}\right]
