Question

Consider the circuit in the figure (b). The curved segments are arcs of circles of angle 15o and radii a = 14 cm and b = 7 cm. The straight segments are along radii. Find the magnetic field B at point P ( the center of curvature), assuming a current of 14 A clockwise in the circuit. (Positive out of page and negative into page)

Explanation / Answer


magnetic field due to such an arrangement of wires is givne by


B = (uo i theta/4)(1/a -1/b)


B = (4pi e-7 * 14 * 15 * 2pi/360)/4* (1/0.07-1/0.14)


B = - 8.21 *10^-6 Tesla
