Magnetics 2 Question 16
16. A battery is connected between two points and on the circumference of a uniform conducting ring of radius and resistance . One of the of the ring subtends an angle at the centre. The value of the magnetic induction at the centre due to the current in the ring is
(a) proportional to
(b) inversely proportional to
(c) zero, only if
(d) zero for all values of
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: 16. (c)
Solution:
- For a current flowing into a circular arc, the magnetic induction at the centre is
In the given problem, the total current is divided into two arcs
or
i.e. magnetic field at centre due to
