A wire carrying current I has the shape as shown in the adjoining figure. Linear parts of the wire are very long and parallel to X  -axis while semicircular portion of radius R is lying in a Y-Z plane. The magnetic field at point  O is.

  • bold B space equals space fraction numerator straight mu subscript straight o over denominator 4 straight pi end fraction straight l over straight R space left parenthesis straight pi stack space straight i with hat on top space plus 2 straight k with hat on top right parenthesis
  • bold B space equals space minus fraction numerator straight mu subscript straight o over denominator 4 straight pi end fraction straight l over straight R space left parenthesis straight pi stack space straight i with hat on top space minus 2 straight k with hat on top right parenthesis
  • bold B space equals negative space fraction numerator straight mu subscript straight o over denominator 4 straight pi end fraction straight l over straight R space left parenthesis straight pi stack space straight i with hat on top space plus 2 straight k with hat on top right parenthesis
  • bold B space equals space fraction numerator straight mu subscript straight o over denominator 4 straight pi end fraction straight l over straight R space left parenthesis straight pi stack space straight i with hat on top space minus 2 straight k with hat on top right parenthesis

Solution

C.

bold B space equals negative space fraction numerator straight mu subscript straight o over denominator 4 straight pi end fraction straight l over straight R space left parenthesis straight pi stack space straight i with hat on top space plus 2 straight k with hat on top right parenthesis

The magnetic fiedl in the different regions is given by 

bold B subscript bold 1 space equals space fraction numerator straight mu subscript straight o over denominator 4 straight pi end fraction straight x straight l over straight R space left parenthesis negative straight k with hat on top right parenthesis
bold B subscript bold 3 space equals space fraction numerator straight mu subscript straight o over denominator 4 straight pi end fraction straight l over straight R space left parenthesis negative straight k with hat on top right parenthesis
bold B subscript bold 2 bold space equals space space fraction numerator straight mu subscript straight o over denominator 4 straight pi end fraction straight l over straight R space left parenthesis negative stack space straight i with hat on top space right parenthesis
The space net space magnetic space field space at space the space centre space straight O space is space
straight B space equals space straight B subscript 1 space plus straight B subscript 2 space end subscript plus straight B subscript 3
space equals space space fraction numerator straight mu subscript straight o over denominator 4 straight pi end fraction straight x straight l over straight R space left parenthesis negative straight k with hat on top right parenthesis plus space fraction numerator straight mu subscript straight o over denominator 4 straight pi end fraction straight l over straight R space left parenthesis negative straight k with hat on top right parenthesis space plus space space fraction numerator straight mu subscript straight o over denominator 4 straight pi end fraction straight l over straight R space left parenthesis negative stack space straight i with hat on top space right parenthesis

bold B bold space bold equals bold space bold minus space space fraction numerator straight mu subscript straight o over denominator 4 straight pi end fraction straight l over straight R space left parenthesis 2 straight k with hat on top plus space straight pi straight i with hat on top space right parenthesis
