Q72 / 90 · JEE Main 2021 (17 Mar Shift 2) · Physics

A hairpin like shape as shown in figure is made by bending a long current carrying wire. What is the magnitude of a magnetic field at point P which lies on the centre of the semicircle ?

Figure

  • A
    μ0I4πr(2-π)
  • Correct answer
    B
    μ0I4πr(2+π)
  • C
    μ0I2πr(2+π)
  • D
    μ0I2πr(2-π)

Solution

B=2×Bst.wire+Bloop

B=2×μ0i4πr+μ0i2rπ2π

B=μ0i4πr(2+π)

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
