A current loop is held fixed on the plane of the paper. The arcs (radius ) and (radius ) of the loop are joined by two straight wires and . A steady current is flowing in the loop. Angle made by and at the origin is . The magnitude of the magnetic field () due to loop at the origin () is:

  1. A
    zero
  2. B
  3. C
  4. D

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

The magnetic field at the center of a circular arc of radius subtending angle is .For the loop : and because the origin lies on the line of the wires. (Direction: into/out of page). (Direction: opposite to ).Net Field .
