JEE Main202621 January 2026Evening ShiftPhysicsMagnetic Effects of CurrentActual
An infinitely long straight wire carrying current I is bent in a planer shape as shown in the diagram. The radius of the circular part is r . The magnetic field at the centre O of the circular loop is :
Options
- A- ₀ 2 I r ( -1) i
- B₀ 2 I r ( -1) i
- C- ₀ 2 I r ( +1) i
- D₀ 2 I r ( +1) i
Correct answer
A. - ₀ 2 I r ( -1) i
Step-by-step solution
B ₀= B _ AB + B _ DE + B _ BCD = ₀ i 4 r i + ₀ i 4 r i - ₀ i 2 r i = ₀ i 2 r i - ₀ i 2 r i = ₀ i 2 r (1- ) i =- ₀ i 2 r ( -1) i
