Answer to Problem 1Q
Solution:
The rank of circuits according to the magnitude of the net magnetic field at the center, greatest first is
Explanation of Solution
1) Concept:
We can find the net magnetic field at the center of each circuit using the formula for magnetic field at the center of circular loop. Comparing them we can rank the given circuits according to the magnitude of the magnetic field at the center.
2) Formulae:
3) Given:
i) Figure 29.24 of three circuits, each consisting of two radial lengths, and two concentric circular arcs, one with radius r, and the other R > r.
ii) Same current is flowing through each circuit and angle between two radial lengths is same.
4) Calculations:
The magnitude of magnetic field at the center of arc is given by
The net magnetic field at the center of circuit (a) is
The net magnetic field at the center of circuit (b) is
The net magnetic field at the center of circuit (c) is
Since,
Conclusion:
The magnetic field at the center of an arc depends inversely on its radius.

- Two long coaxial copper tubes, each of length L, are connected to a battery of voltage V. The inner tube has inner radius o and outer radius b, and the outer tube has inner radius c and outer radius d. The tubes are then disconnected from the battery and rotated in the same direction at angular speed of radians per second about their common axis. Find the magnetic field (a) at a point inside the space enclosed by the inner tube r d.
