Biot-Savart Law & Circular Coils

A circular arc of radius 'rr' carrying current 'II' subtends an angle π16\frac{\pi}{16} at its centre. The radius of a metal wire is uniform. The magnetic induction at the centre of circular arc is [μ0=[\mu_0 = permeability of free space]

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

  1. Arc of angle θ\theta: B=μ0Iθ4πrB = \frac{\mu_0 I\theta}{4\pi r}.
  2. θ=π16\theta = \frac{\pi}{16}: B=μ0I4πr⋅π16=μ0I64rB = \frac{\mu_0 I}{4\pi r}\cdot\frac{\pi}{16} = \frac{\mu_0 I}{64r}
  3. So the answer is (c).
