A very long wire is shown in figure carrying current . and parts are straight, long and at right angle. At wire forms a circular turn of radius . , parts are tangential to circular turn at and . Magnetic field at the centre of circle is:
  1. (A)
  2. (B)
  3. (C)
  4. (D)✓ Correct

Answer: (D)

Solution

Add the field at the centre from the three pieces of the wire. Each straight arm is semi-infinite and tangent to the circle, so its perpendicular distance from the centre is ; a semi-infinite wire whose near end subtends gives from the incoming arm and from the outgoing arm, while the full circular turn contributes . Taking the loop and the outgoing arm out of the page and the incoming arm into the page, the net field is .
