A wire bent in the shape of a regular $n$-polygonal loop carries a steady current $I$. Let $l$ be the perpendicular distance of a 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
  • A$\frac{n \mu_0 I}{2 \pi l} \sin (\pi / n)$
  • 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$\frac{n \mu_0 I}{2 \pi R} \cos (\pi / n)$

    Heart-lung machines and artifical kidney machines employ blood pumps. A mechanical pump can mangle blood cells.Figure represents an electromagnetic pump. The blood is confined to an electrically insulating tube, represented as a rectangle of width $\omega$ and height $h.$ Two electrodes fit into the top and the bottom of the tube. The potential difference between them establishes an electric current through the blood, with current density $J$ over a section of length $L.$ A perpendicular magnetic field exists in the same region.
