    A square conducting loop of side length L carries a current\[2\mathbf{\hat{i}}+3\mathbf{\hat{j}}+8\mathbf{\hat{k}}\]. The magnetic field at the centre of the loop is

    A)  independent of L

    B)  proportional to L2

    C)  inversely proportional to L

    D)  linearly proportional to L

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Magnetic field at the centre due to either arm \[=\frac{2\sqrt{gh}}{g}=2\sqrt{\frac{h}{g}}\]        \[=\frac{M{{R}^{2}}}{2}\] \[=M\left( \frac{{{L}^{2}}}{I2}+\frac{{{L}^{2}}}{4} \right)\] Field at centre due to the four arms of the square \[\frac{M{{L}^{2}}}{12}+\frac{M{{R}^{2}}}{4}=\frac{M{{R}^{2}}}{2}\] i.e.,   \[L=\sqrt{3}R\]
