JEE Main20199 Jan 2019Morning ShiftPhysicsMagnetic Effects of CurrentActual
A current loop, having two circular arcs joined by two radial lines is shown in the figure. It carries a current of 10 A . The magnetic field at point O will be close to:
Options
- A1.5 × 10 - 7 T
- B1.0 × 10 - 7 T
- C1.5 × 10 - 5 T
- D1.0 × 10 - 5 T
Correct answer
D. 1.0 × 10 - 5 T
Step-by-step solution
Magnetic field due to P Q and R S are zero at ' O '. Magnetic field due to Q R B Q R = μ 0 4 π 10 3 × 10 - 2 π 4 (outwards) Magnetic field due to S P B S P = μ 0 4 π 10 5 × 10 - 2 π 4 (inwards) Net field B = μ o 4 π 10 π 4 × 10 - 2 1 3 - 1 5 = 1.0 × 10 - 5 T
