    An infinitely long straight conductor is bent into the shape as shown in the figure. Current in it is i and the radius of the circular loop is r. The magnetic field at its centre is
     
     

    A) Zero

    B) Infinite

    C) \[\frac{{{\mu }_{0}}i}{2\pi r}(\pi -1)\]

    D) \[\frac{{{\mu }_{0}}i}{2\pi r}(\pi +1)\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Option [c] is correct.
    Explanation: Magnetic field at O due to ABCD straight conductor = \[\frac{{{\mu }_{0}}i}{2\pi r}\]
    Magnetic field at O due to the BEC circular conductor = \[\frac{{{\mu }_{0}}i}{2r}\]
    The fields are in opposite direction. Hence the resultant field at O is \[\frac{{{\mu }_{0}}i}{2r}\] - \[\frac{{{\mu }_{0}}i}{2\pi r}\]=\[\frac{{{\mu }_{0}}i}{2\pi r}(\pi -1)\]
