Find the magnetic field at the point P in figure. The curved portion is a semicircle connected to two long straight wires.
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
C.
Step-by-step solution
Magnitude of magnetic field due to semi-infinite portion of wire AB at point C is
Magnitude of magnetic field due to semicircular arc BD at point C is
Magnitude of magnetic field due to semi-infinite portion DE at point C is 0.
Using right-hand rule, it can be seen that directions of and are both outwards from the plane.
Therefore, the magnitude of net magnetic field at point C is
