A circular loop of 20 turns carries a current of 5.0 A. If the magnetic field at the centre of the loop is 1.57 mT, the radius of the loop would be: |
2 cm 4 cm 3.14 cm 6.28 cm |
4 cm |
The correct answer is Option (2) → 4 cm The magnetic field (B) at the center of a circular loop of radius (r), carrying a current (I) and having N turns is - $B=\frac{μ_0NI}{2r}$ Now, $B=1.57×10^{-3}T$ [given] $N=20$ $I=5.0A$ $r=\frac{μ_0NI}{2B}=\frac{4\pi×10^{-7}×20×5}{2×1.57×10^{-3}}$ $=4×10^{-2}=4cm$ |
