- The Current-Carrying Conductor produces a magnetic Field Around it.
Biot-Savarts Law:
The direction and Magnitude of this magnetic field can be obtained from Biot-Savarts Law.
\(\overrightarrow{dB} = \frac{μ _{0}\overrightarrow{I}\times \overrightarrow{dl}}{4\pi r^{2}}\)
Where dB = Magnetic Field produced due to small wire of length dl, I = Current in wire, μ0 = Permittivity of free space, dl = Small Current Element
- The magnetic field generated due to the current-carrying circular conductor at its center is given as:
\(\Rightarrow B=\dfrac{\mu_0 i}{2r}\)
- This result has been obtained from Biot Savarts Law.
EXPLANATION:
- The Magnetic Field Produced due to the Semi-Circular wire is half of that of Circular wire.
- So, the magnetic field produced at the center "O" of the wire will be
\(\Rightarrow B = \frac{1}{2}\times \dfrac{\mu_0 i}{2r}=\dfrac{\mu_0 i}{4r}\)
Hence option 2 is the correct option.
