Biot-Savart Law & Circular Coils

An electron moving in a circular orbit of radius r makes n rotations per second. The magnetic field produced at the centre has magnitude

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. Equivalent current I=neI = ne (charge passing a point per second).
  2. B=μ0I2r=μ0ne2rB = \frac{\mu_0 I}{2r} = \frac{\mu_0 n e}{2r}
  3. So the answer is (b).
