STANDARD Physics Magnetic Field due to a Current Element MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium

An element of 0.05 m placed at the origin as shown in figure which carries a large current of 10 A. The magnetic field at a distance of 1 m in perpendicular direction is

Question diagram
A

4.5 × 10⁻⁸ T

B

5.5 × 10⁻⁸ T

C

5.0 × 10⁻⁸ T

D

7.5 × 10⁻⁸ T

Correct Answer

Option C

Detailed Explanation

Using the formula dB = (μ₀/4π) * (Id sinθ / r²), with d = 0.05 m, I = 10 A, r = 1 m, and sinθ = 1, the magnetic field is calculated as 5.0 × 10⁻⁸ T.
