Q48 / 236 · NTA Abhyas (NEET) 2020 · Physics · Magnetic Effects of Current

What will be the magnetic field at point P in the figure below?

Figure

  • A
    μ0i4R34
  • Correct answer
    B
    μ0i4R2π+1
  • C
    μ0i2R2π+1
  • D
    2μ0i2R2π+1

Solution

Figure

Field due to section 1

B→1=μ0i4πR upwards

field due to section 2

B→2=μ0iπ4πR=μ0i4R upwards

Field due to section 3

B→3=μ0i4πR upwards

therefore

B→net=B→1+B→2+B→3 upwards

B→net=μ0i4πR+μ0i4R+μ0i4πR upwards

B→net=μ0i4R2π+1 upwards

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