Magnetic field due to the current carrying wire as shown in the figure at point "O" will be: |
$\frac{\mu_0 I}{2 R}$ $\frac{\mu_0 I}{4 R}$ $\frac{\mu_0 I}{2 \pi R}$ $\frac{\mu_0 I}{4 \pi R}$ |
$\frac{\mu_0 I}{4 R}$ |
The correct answer is Option (2) → $\frac{\mu_0 I}{4 R}$ The magnetic field generated due to the current carrying circular, conductor at it's centre is, $B = \frac{\mu_0 I}{2 r}$ [Using Biot Savart's law] ∴ Magnetic field produced due to semi-circular coil is, $B=\frac{1}{2}×\frac{\mu_0 I}{2 r}$ $=\frac{\mu_0 I}{4 r}$ |
