Biot-Savart Law & Circular Coils

A circular arc of radius r carrying current ' I ' subtends an angle π8\frac{\pi}{8} 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: (b)

  1. Arc of angle θ\theta: B=μ0Iθ4πrB = \frac{\mu_0 I\theta}{4\pi r}.
  2. θ=π8\theta = \frac{\pi}{8}: B=μ0I4πr⋅π8=μ0I32rB = \frac{\mu_0 I}{4\pi r}\cdot\frac{\pi}{8} = \frac{\mu_0 I}{32r}
  3. So the answer is (b).
