Question:

In the circuit ARB and ATB are semicircles in which current is flowing as shown in figure. The magnetic field at the center S of the circular loop will be:

Options:

Zero

$\frac{\mu_0 I}{2 \pi r}$

$\frac{\mu_0 I}{4 \pi r}$

$\frac{\mu_0 I}{8 \pi r}$

Correct Answer:

Zero

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1) → Zero

Due to symmetry, the magnetic field at the center of the loop due to ARC ARB and ARC ATB will cancel out each other (same magnitude but opposite direction).
