A square shaped wire loop of side L is carrying a current I. What is the magnetic field at the point of intersection of diagonals of the square wire loop? |
$\frac{μ_0I}{π L\sqrt{2}}$ $\frac{2\sqrt{2}μ_0I}{π L}$ $\frac{2μ_0I}{π L}$ $\frac{\sqrt{2}μ_0I}{π L}$ |
$\frac{2\sqrt{2}μ_0I}{π L}$ |
The correct answer is Option (2) → $\frac{2\sqrt{2}μ_0I}{π L}$ The side length of the square loop, $AB = L$ $∴BC=\frac{L}{2}$ ∴ In ΔOAD $⇒\frac{AD}{x}=\tan 45°$ $⇒x=\frac{L}{2}$ Magnetic field at O due to AB, ${I_0}'=\frac{μ_0I}{4\pi x}[\sin θ_1+\sin θ_2]$ $=\frac{μ_0I}{\pi L\sqrt{2}}$ ∴ $I_0$ due to 4 such wire, $I_0=4{I_0}'=\frac{2\sqrt{2}μ_0I}{π L}$ |
