As shown in the figure, a current of 2A flowing in an equilateral triangle of side 4 3 cm . The magnetic field at the

(Neglect the effect of earth’s magnetic field)

Options

  1. A43×10−4T4\sqrt{3} \times {10}^{- 4}T
  2. B43×10−5T4\sqrt{3} \times {10}^{- 5}T
  3. C3×10−4T\sqrt{3} \times {10}^{- 4}T
  4. D33×10−5T3\sqrt{3} \times {10}^{- 5}T

Correct answer

D. 33×10−5T3\sqrt{3} \times {10}^{- 5}T

Step-by-step solution

As shown in the figure, a current of 2A flowing in an equilateral triangle of side 4 3 cm . The magnetic field at the

Perpendicular distance of centroid from any of the sides will be, dtan60°=23dtan60 ° = 2\sqrt{3}

⇒d=2cm⇒ d = 2cm

Each side will subtend an angle of 120°120 ° at the centre. Also magnetic field due to all sides will be out of plane of paper, hence total magnetic field can be written as

B=3×μ0i4πd[sin⁡60°+sin⁡60°]B = 3 \times \dfrac{{\mu}_{0}i}{4\pi d}\left[\sin 60 ° + \sin 60 °\right]

=3×10−7×22×10−2×3= 3 \times \dfrac{{10}^{- 7} \times 2}{2 \times {10}^{- 2}} \times \sqrt{3}

=33×10−5T= 3\sqrt{3} \times {10}^{- 5}T
