A current carrying loop consists of 3 identical quarter circles of radius R, lying in the positive quadrants of the x-y, y-z and z-x planes with their centres at the origin, joined together. Find the direction and magnitude of B at the origin.

Answer»

Solution :1. I current carrying ARC having a radius R SUBTEND ANGLE `theta` at centre point then, magnetic field is given by `B=(mu_(0)Itheta)/(4piR)`.
2. Magnetic field at O from current carrying loop at xy-plane,
`vecR_(n)=(mu_(0)I)/(4piR)(pi/2)hatk`
`vecR_(n)=(mu_(0)I)/(4(2R))hatk`
3. Magnetic field at O from current carrying loop at yz-plane,
`vecR_(n)=(mu_(0)I)/(4(2R))hati`
4. Magnetic field at O from current carrying at zx-plane,
`thereforevecR_(n)=(mu_(0)I)/(4(2R))hatj`
`thereforevecR_(n)=vecR_(1)+vecR_(2)+vecR_(3)`
= `(mu_(0)I)/(4(2R))(hati+hatj+hatk)`
`vecR_(n)=(mu_(0)I)/(8R)(hati+hatj+hatk)`
