Q.

Two identical circular wires of radius 20 cm and carrying current 2 A are placed in perpendicular planes as shown in the figure. The net magnetic field at the centre of the circular wires is ________ ×10-8 T.                      [2023]

(Take π=3.14)


Ans.

(628)

Magnetic field BC at center =μ0i2r

BC=4π×10-72×0.2×2 T

Net magnetic field is

BC2=4π×10-7×22×0.2×2 T=2π×10-6 T

             =200π×10-8 T=628×10-8 T
