A current of 10 A flows around a closed path in a circuit which is in the horizontal plane as shown in the figure. The circuit consists of eight alternating arcs of radii r1 = 0.08 m and r1 = 0. 12 m. Each are subtends the same angle at the centre. - Find the magnetic field produced by this circuit at the center. (IIT JEE 2001 – 10 MARKS)
- An infinitely long straight wire carrying a current of 10 A is passing through the center of the above circuit vertically with the direction of the current being into the plane of the circuit. What is the force acting on the wire at the center due to the current in the circuit ? What is the force acting on the arc AC and the straight segment CD due to the current at the center ?
