A current `I` flows an infinitely long wire with cross section in the form of a semi - circular ring of radius `R`. The magnitude of the magnetic induction along its axis is :

A

`(mu_(0)I)/( 2 pi^(2) R )`

B

`(mu_(0)I)/( 2 pi R )`

C

`(mu_(0)I)/( 4 pi R )`

D

`(mu_(0)I)/( pi^(2) R )`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

Current in a small element , `dl = (d theta)/(pi) I`
Magnetic field due to the element
`dB = (mu_(0))/( 4 pi) ( 2dI)/( R )`
The component `dB cos theta`, of the field is cancelled by another opposite component.
Therefore,
`B_( net) =int dB sin theta = (mu_(0)I)/( 2 pi^(2) R_(0)) int_(0)^(pi) sin theta d theta = (mu_(0)I)/( pi^(2)R )`
