$A$ circular arc of wire of radius of curvature $r$ subtends an angle of $\frac{\pi}{5}$ radian at its centre. If current $i$ is flowing in it, then the magnetic induction at its centre is ($\mu_0$ = permeability of free space).

  • A
    $\frac{\mu_0 i}{4r}$
  • B
    $\frac{\mu_0 i}{8r}$
  • C
    $\frac{\mu_0 i}{16r}$
  • D
    $\frac{\mu_0 i}{20r}$
