Figure shows two semicircular loops of radii R₁ and R₂ carrying current I . The magnetic field at the common centre ' O ' is
Options
- A₀ I 4 ( 1 R₁ + 1 R₂ )
- B₀ I 4 ( 1 R₁ - 1 R₂ )
- C₀ I 2 ( 1 R₁ + 1 R₂ )
- D₀ I 2 ( 1 R₁ - 1 R₂ )
Correct answer
A. ₀ I 4 ( 1 R₁ + 1 R₂ )
Step-by-step solution
For semicircular arc the magnetic field is given as B= ₀ i 4 R The equivalent magnetic field at the centre is aligned & B_ eq = ₀ I 4 R₁ + ₀ I 4 R₂ & B_ eq = ₀ I 4 ( 1 R₁ + 1 R₂ ) aligned
