MCQ
Consider the circular loop having current $i$ and with central point $O$. The magnetic field at the central point $O$ is
  • A
    $\frac{2 \mu_0 i }{3 \pi R }$ acting downward
  • $\frac{5 \mu_0 i }{12 R }$ acting downward
  • C
    $\frac{6 \mu_0 i }{11 R }$ acting downward
  • D
    $\frac{3 \mu_0 i }{7 R }$ acting upward

Answer

Correct option: B.
$\frac{5 \mu_0 i }{12 R }$ acting downward
b
(b)

Magnetic field at the center due to the inner loop of radius $R=\frac{3}{4} \times \frac{\mu_0 I}{2 R}$ downwards

Magnetic field at the center due to the outer loop of radius $3 R=\frac{1}{4} \times \frac{\mu_0 I}{2(3 R)}$ downwards

Magnetic field at center due to the two straight wire segments is zero.

Hence net magnetic field at center of loop $=\frac{3 \mu_0 I}{8 R}+\frac{\mu_0 I}{24 R}$ downwards $=\frac{5 \mu_0 I}{12 R}$ downwards
