Vedclass · Answer

(A) The magnetic field due to a straight wire of length $a$ at a perpendicular distance $r$ from its centre is given by $B = \frac{\mu_0 i}{4 \pi r} (\sin 	heta_1 + \sin 	heta_2)$.For an equilateral triangle of side $a = 2L$,the distance $r$ from the centre to any side is $r = \frac{a}{2 	an 60^{\circ}} = \frac{2L}{2 \sqrt{3}} = \frac{L}{\sqrt{3}}$.The angles subtended by the ends of the side at the centre are $	heta_1 = 	heta_2 = 60^{\circ}$.The magnetic field due to one side is $B_1 = \frac{\mu_0 i}{4 \pi (L/\sqrt{3})} (\sin 60^{\circ} + \sin 60^{\circ}) = \frac{\mu_0 i \sqrt{3}}{4 \pi L} (\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} + \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}) = \frac{\mu_0 i \sqrt{3}}{4 \pi L} (\sqrt{3}) = \frac{3 \mu_0 i}{4 \pi L}$.Since there are $3$ identical sides,the total magnetic field at the centre is $B = 3 	imes B_1 = 3 	imes \frac{3 \mu_0 i}{4 \pi L} = \frac{9 \mu_0 i}{4 \pi L}$.

Find the magnetic field at the point $P$ in the figure. The curved portion is a quarter-circle connected to two long straight wires.

The magnitude of the magnetic field (in $SI$ units) at the centre of a hexagonal coil of side $10 \, cm$, having $50$ turns and carrying a current $I$ (Ampere), in units of $\frac{\mu_{0} I}{\pi}$ is: (in $\sqrt{3}$)

Assertion: In electric circuits,wires carrying currents in opposite directions are often twisted together.
Reason: If the wires are not twisted together,the combination of the wires forms a current loop,and the magnetic field generated by the loop might affect adjacent circuits or components.
