Short Answer

Expert verified

Expression for the magnetic field strength at the center (pointP)of the circular arc isBP=μoIθ4Ï€°ù

Step by step solution

01

Given information   

We need to Find an expression for the magnetic field strength at the center (pointP)of the circular arc.

02

Simplify  

Wires carrying current produce a magnetic field, and we use the Biot-Savart law to calculate the magnitude and direction of that field at any point where the magnetic field due to the segment of current-carrying wire is given by equation

B→currentsegment=μo4πI△ssinθr2(1)

At the point P, Both the two straight wires are parallel and applying zero magnetic fields at point P. at pointP the arc wire apply a perpendicular magnetic field, so the magnetic field due to the arc is

B→arc=μo4πI△ssin90°r2=μo4πI△sr2(2)

At very small segments △s,sinθ≈θis very small angle and from the given figure, the segment △sis

△s=rsinθ=rθ

The radius rof arc can be substitute the expression â–³sinto equation (2)to get BP

BP=μo4Ï€Iâ–³sr2=μo4Ï€Iθr2=μoIθ4Ï€°ù
