STANDARD Physics Magnetic Field due to Current MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium
A straight conductor carrying current i splits into two parts as shown in the figure. The radius of the circular loop is R. The total magnetic field at the centre P at the loop is
A
zero
B
3μ₀i/32R, outward
C
3μ₀i/32R, inward
D
μ₀i/2R, inward
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
The net magnetic field at the center P is calculated by considering the magnetic fields due to each segment of the conductor. The fields due to the segments cancel each other out, resulting in a net magnetic field of zero.
