In the given figure, what is the magnetic field induction at point O .
Options
- A₀ l 4 r
- B₀ l 4 r + ₀ l 2 r
- C₀ I 4 r + ₀ I 4 r
- D₀ I 4 r - ₀ I 4 r
Correct answer
C. ₀ I 4 r + ₀ I 4 r
Step-by-step solution
Magnetic field due to straight wire above O is zero i.e. B₁=0 (since, =0^ ) The magnetic field due to semi circular part B₂= ( ₀ n I 2 r )= ₀(1 / 2) I 2 r = ₀ I 4 r The magnetic field due to lower straight portion B₃= 1 2 ₀ I 2 r (upward) Net magnetic field B=B₁+B₂+B₃=0+ ₀ I 4 r + ₀ I 4 r (upwards)
