Moving Charges and Magnetism

  1. Two similar coils of radius R are lying concentrically with their planes at right angles to each other. The currents flowing in them are I and 2 I, respectively. The resultant magnetic field induction at the centre will be:​
    1. 5μ0l
      2R
    2. 0l
      2R
    3. μ0l
      2R
    4. μ0l
      R
Correct Option: A


The magnetic field, due the coil, carrying current I Ampere ​

B1 =
μ0I
2R

​The magnetic field due to the coil, carrying current 2I Ampere ​ ​
B2 =
μ0(2I)
2R

The resultant B ​
Bnet = √B1² + B2² + 2B1B2 cosθ = θ = 90°
Bnet = √B1² + B2² =
μ0(2I)
1 + 4
2R

=
5μ0I
2R
