$A$ wire bent in the shape of a regular $n$-polygonal loop carries a steady current $I$. Let $l$ be the perpendicular distance of a given segment and $R$ be the distance of a vertex from the centre of the loop. The magnitude of the magnetic field at the centre of the loop is given by

  • A
    $\frac{n \mu_0 I}{2 \pi l} \sin (\pi / n)$
  • B
    $\frac{n \mu_0 I}{2 \pi R} \sin (\pi / n)$
  • C
    $\frac{n \mu_0 I}{2 \pi l} \cos (\pi / n)$
  • D
    $\frac{n \mu_0 I}{2 \pi R} \cos (\pi / n)$

$A$ current-carrying loop $ABCD$ has two circular arcs $AD$ and $BC$ with radii $1 \text{ cm}$ and $2 \text{ cm}$ respectively, as shown in the figure. The two arcs $AD$ and $BC$ subtend a common angle of $30^{\circ}$ at the centre $O$. If the current flowing in the loop is $\frac{1.2}{\pi} \text{ A}$, then the magnitude of the net magnetic field at $O$ is (Given $\mu_0 = 4\pi \times 10^{-7} \text{ T m/A}$): (in $\mu \text{T}$)

An electric current is flowing through a circular coil of radius $R$. The ratio of the magnetic field at the centre of the coil and that at a distance $2\sqrt{2}R$ from the centre of the coil on its axis is:

The magnetic field at the center of a current-carrying loop of radius $0.1 \ m$ is $5\sqrt{5}$ times that at a point along its axis. The distance of this point from the center of the loop is: (in $m$)
