MCQ
Two parallel long current carrying wire separated by a distance $2 \mathrm{r}$ are shown in the figure. The ratio of magnetic field at $\mathrm{A}$ to the magnetic field produced at $C$ is $\frac{x}{7}$. The value of $x$ is $\qquad$
  • $5$
  • B
    $4$
  • C
    $3$
  • D
    $2$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$5$
a
$\mathrm{B}_{\mathrm{A}}=\frac{\mu_0 \mathrm{i}}{2 \pi \mathrm{r}}+\frac{\mu_0(2 \mathrm{i})}{2 \pi(3 \mathrm{r})}=\frac{5 \mu_0 \mathrm{i}}{6 \pi \mathrm{r}}$

$\mathrm{B}_C=\frac{\mu_0(2 \mathrm{i})}{2 \pi \mathrm{r}}+\frac{\mu_0 \mathrm{i}}{2 \pi(3 \mathrm{r})}=\frac{7 \mu_0 \mathrm{i}}{6 \pi \mathrm{r}}$

$\therefore \frac{\mathrm{B}_A}{\mathrm{~B}_C}=\frac{5}{7}$

$\therefore \mathrm{x}=5$
