Current Question (ID: 16750)

Question:
$\text{A straight wire carrying a current of } 12 \text{ A is bent into a semi-circular arc of radius } 2.0 \text{ cm as shown in the figure. Considering the magnetic field } B \text{ at the centre of the arc, what will be the magnetic field due to the straight segments?}$
Options:
  • 1. $0$
  • 2. $1.2 \times 10^{-4} \text{ T}$
  • 3. $2.1 \times 10^{-4} \text{ T}$
  • 4. $\text{None of these}$
Solution:
$\text{Hint: } d\vec{B} = \frac{\mu_0}{4\pi} \frac{I(d\vec{l} \times \vec{r})}{r^3}$ $\text{Explanation: Find the magnetic field due to the straight segments.}$ $\text{If we assume a small segment of wire } dl \text{ and find the magnetic field at the middle point of the semi-circular arc, we get;}$ $\Rightarrow d\vec{B} = \frac{\mu_0}{4\pi} \frac{I(d\vec{l} \times \vec{r})}{r^3}$ $d\vec{l} \text{ and } \vec{r} \text{ for each element of the straight segments are parallel. By the law of vectors, } I d\vec{l} \times \vec{r} = \vec{0}$ $\text{Therefore, } d\vec{B} = \frac{\mu_0}{4\pi} \frac{I(d\vec{l} \times \vec{r})}{r^3} \text{ so straight segments do not contribute to } \vec{B}.$ $\text{Hence, option (1) is the correct answer.}$
