Manipal MET2021PhysicsMagnetic Effects of Current
Two wires P Q and Q R , carry equal currents I as shown in figure. One end of both the wires extends to infinity P Q R= . The magnitude of the magnetic field at O on the bisector of these two wires at a distance r from point O is
Options
- A₀ I 4 r 2
- B₀ 4 1 r 2
- C₀ 4 1 r 2
- D₀ I 2 r [1+ ( / 2)] ( / 2)
Correct answer
D. ₀ I 2 r [1+ ( / 2)] ( / 2)
Step-by-step solution
Perpendicular of O from P Q or Q R , a=r / 2 magnetic field induction at O due to current through P Q and Q R is aligned B & = ₀ 4 1 a [ (90^ - / 2 )+ 90^ ] 2 & = ₀ 2 1 r / 2 ( / 2+1) & = ₀ 2 l r (1+ / 2) / 2 aligned
