Magnetics Ques 123
- A steady current $I$ goes through a wire loop $P Q R$ having shape of a right angle triangle with $P Q=3 x, P R=4 x$ and $Q R=5 x$. If the magnitude of the magnetic field at $P$ due to this loop is $k(\frac{\mu _0 I}{48 \pi x})$,find the value of $k$.

Answer:
Correct Answer: 123.$(7)$
Solution:
Formula:
Magnetic Field Due To A Straight Wire:
- Magnetic field at point $P$ due to wires $R P$ and $R Q$ is zero. Only wire $Q R$ will produce magnetic field at $P$.
$ r=3 x \cos 37^{\circ}=(3 x) (\frac{4}{5})=\frac{12 x}{5} $
Now,
$ \begin{aligned} B & =\frac{\mu _0}{4 \pi} \frac{I}{12 x / 5} \quad\left[\sin 37^{\circ}+\sin 53^{\circ}\right] \\ & =7 (\frac{\mu _0 I}{48 \pi x}) \end{aligned} $
