A current loop consists of two identical semicircular parts each of radius , one lying in the plane and the other in plane. If the current in the loop is . The resultant magnetic field due to the two semicircular parts at their common centre is
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
A.
Step-by-step solution
The magnetic field at centre for each semicircular parts each of radius ,
The magnetic field at their common centre
\begin{aligned}
\overrightarrow{\mathrm{B}} & =\overrightarrow{\mathrm{B}}_1+\overrightarrow{\mathrm{B}}_2 \\
\mathrm{~B} & =\sqrt{\mathrm{B}_1^2+\mathrm{B}_2^2} \\
& =\sqrt{\left(\frac{\mu_0 \mathrm{i}}{4 \mathrm{R}}\right)^2+\left(\frac{\mu_0 \mathrm{i}}{4 \mathrm{R}}\right)^2} \\
\mathrm{~B} & =\frac{\mu_0 \mathrm{i}}{2 \sqrt{2} \mathrm{R}}
\end{aligned}
