A wire , bent in the shape of an arc of a circle, carrying a current of and having radius cm and another wire , also bent in the shape of an arc of a circle, carrying a current of and having radius of , are placed as shown in the figure. The ratio of the magnetic fields due to the wires and at the common centre is:

Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
D.
Step-by-step solution
Given,
Current in the arc is
Current in the arc is
Radius of arc is
Radius of arc is
Magnetic field at the centre of circular current carrying arc is given by
Where, is the angle subtended at centre.
Magnetic field at the centre due to arc and is given by
Dividing equation (2) by (1), we get
