  2. B00
  3. Cμ0I4πa\dfrac{{\mu}_{0}I}{4\pi a}
  4. Dμ0Iπa\dfrac{{\mu}_{0}I}{\pi a}

Correct answer

D. μ0Iπa\dfrac{{\mu}_{0}I}{\pi a}

Step-by-step solution

The magnitude of magnetic induction at mid-point O due to current arrangement as shown in figure will be .

The magnetic field at point OO due to the two semi-infinite portions of both wires lying along line BEBE will be 00.

Using right-hand rule, it can be determined that the magnetic field due to both the semi-infinite portions of wires BCandETBC\text{and}ET which are perpendicular to BEBE will be outwards from the plane.

The magnetic field due to one such portion will be:

B=μ0I4π(a2)B = \dfrac{{\mu}_{0}I}{4\pi\left(\dfrac{a}{2}\right)}

Since the magnetic field of both the portions is in same direction, the net magnetic field at OO will be:

Bnet=2×μ0I4π(a2)=μ0I\pia{B}_{net} = 2 \times \dfrac{{\mu}_{0}I}{4\pi\left(\dfrac{a}{2}\right)} = \dfrac{{\mu}_{0}I}{\pia}
