A current loop $ABCD$ is held fixed on the plane of the paper as shown in the figure. The arcs $ BC$ (radius $= b$) and $DA $ (radius $= a$) of the loop are joined by two straight wires $AB $  and $CD$. A steady current $I$ is flowing in the loop. Angle made by $AB$ and $CD$ at the origin $O$ is $30^o $. Another straight thin wire with steady current $I_1$ flowing out of the plane of the paper is kept at the origin.

Due to the presence of the current $I_1$ at the origin

A charge $Q$ is uniformly distributed over the surface of nonconducting disc of radius $R$. The disc rotates about an axis perpendicular to its plane and passing through its centre with an angular velocity $\omega$. As a result of this rotation a magnetic field ofinduction $B$ is obtained at the centre of the disc. If we keep both the amount of charge placed on the disc and its angular velocity to be constant and vary the radius of the disc then the variation of the magnetic induction at the centre of the disc will be represented by the figure
