Q74 / 90 · KVPY 2015 (SB/SX) · Physics
A wire bent in the shape of a regular n polygonal loop carries a steady current I. Let 1 be the perpendicular distance of a given segment and $R$ be the distance of given segment and $R$ be the distance of a vertex both from the centre of the loop. The magnitude of the magnetic field at the centre of the loop is given by.
- Correct answerA$\frac{n \mu_{0} I}{2 \pi l} \sin (\pi / n)$
- B$\frac{n \mu_{0} I}{2 \pi R} \sin (\pi / n)$
- C$\frac{n \mu_{0} I}{2 \pi l} \cos (\pi / n)$
- D$\frac{n \mu_{0} I}{2 \pi R} \cos (\pi / n)$
Solution
$$
B=\frac{\mu_{0} i}{4 \pi l} \times 2 \sin \theta
$$
Where $2 \theta=\frac{2 \pi}{n}$
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
