A conductor is carrying a current i . The magnetic field intensity at the point O which is the common centre for three arcs is
Options
- A5 µ 0 iθ 24 πR
- Bµ 0 iθ 24 πR
- C11 µ 0 iθ 24 πR
- Dzero
Correct answer
A. 5 µ 0 iθ 24 πR
Step-by-step solution
Find B due to each arc at O and add them using vector addition. Since magnetic field at the centre of an arc is equal to B = µ 0 I 4 πr θ hence, net B = µ 0 i 4 π 1 R - 1 2 R + 1 3 R θ = 5 µ 0 iθ 24 πR
