Two concentric coils, each of radius equal to 2π2\pi cm are placed at right angle to each other. If 33 A and 44 A are the currents flowing through the two coils, respectively. The magnetic induction (in Wb/m^2) at the centre of the coils will be {\mu_0 = 4\pi \times 10^{-7} SI unit}

Options

  1. A5×10−55 \times 10^{-5}
  2. B12×10−512 \times 10^{-5}
  3. C7×10−57 \times 10^{-5}
  4. D10−510^{-5}

Correct answer

A. 5×10−55 \times 10^{-5}

Step-by-step solution

The magnetic field at the centre of a circular coil is given by B=μ0I2RB = \dfrac{\mu_0 I}{2R}.

For the first coil, B1=μ0I12RB_1 = \dfrac{\mu_0 I_1}{2R}.

For the second coil, B2=μ0I22RB_2 = \dfrac{\mu_0 I_2}{2R}.

Since the coils are placed at right angles to each other, their magnetic fields at the centre are perpendicular. The resultant magnetic field is:

B=B12+B22=μ02RI12+I22B = \sqrt{B_1^2 + B_2^2} = \dfrac{\mu_0}{2R} \sqrt{I_1^2 + I_2^2}

Substituting the given values R=2π×10−2R = 2\pi \times 10^{-2} m, I1=3I_1 = 3 A, I2=4I_2 = 4 A, and μ0=4π×10−7\mu_0 = 4\pi \times 10^{-7} T m/A:

B=4π×10−72×2π×10−232+42B = \dfrac{4\pi \times 10^{-7}}{2 \times 2\pi \times 10^{-2}} \sqrt{3^2 + 4^2}

B=4π×10−74π×10−2×5B = \dfrac{4\pi \times 10^{-7}}{4\pi \times 10^{-2}} \times 5

B=10−5×5=5×10−5B = 10^{-5} \times 5 = 5 \times 10^{-5} Wb/m^2<br><br>Answer:<br><br>Answer:5 \times 10^{-5}
