NEET2023PhysicsMagnetic Effects of CurrentActual
A very long conducting wire is bent in a semi- circular shape from A to B as shown in figure. The magnetic field at point   P for steady current configuration is given by:
Options
- Aμ 0 i 4 R 1 - 2 π pointed into the page
- Bμ 0 i 4 R pointed into the page
- Cμ 0 i 4 R pointed away from the page
- Dμ 0 i 4 R 1 - 2 π pointed away from the page
Correct answer
D. μ 0 i 4 R 1 - 2 π pointed away from the page
Step-by-step solution
Let's consider the following diagram: The formula to calculate the magnetic field B → 1 due to wire 1 is given by B → 1 = μ 0 i 4 π R ⊗       . . . 1 The formula to calculate the magnetic field B → 2 due to wire 2 is given by B → 2 = μ 0 i 4 R ⊙       . . . 2 And, the formula to calculate the magnetic field B → 3 due to wire 3 is given by B → 3 = μ 0 i 4 π R ⊗       . . . 3 Hence, the net
