MCQ

A circular loop is kept in that vertical plane which contains the north-south direction. It carries a current that is towards north at the topmost point. Let $A$ be a point on the axis of the circle to the east of it and $B$ a point on this axis to the west of it. The magnetic field due to the loop

A
Is towards east at $A$ and towards west at $B.$
B
Is towards west at $A$ and towards east at $B.$
C
Is towards east at both $A$ and $B.$
✓
Is towards west at both $A$ and $B.$

✓

Answer

Correct option: D.

Is towards west at both $A$ and $B.$

According to the right$-$hand thumb rule, if we curl the fingers of our right hand in the direction of the current flowing, then the stretching of the thumb will show the direction of the magnetic field developed due to it and vice versa.
Let north-south is along $x$ axis and east$-$west is along $y$ axis. Circular wire is in $xz$ plane. Then point $A$ will lie on positive y axis and $B$ on negative $y$ axis. On looking from point $B$, current is flowing in anticlockwise direction so the magnetic field will point from right to left. Hence, the magnetic field due to the loop will be towards west at both $A$ and $B.$
