A regular tetrahedron frame is made up of homogeneous resitance wire of uniform cross section. Current I enters vertex A through a long, straight wire directed towards the centre O of the tetrahedron and is conducted away through vertex B in the same way, as illustrated in the figure. Choose CORRECT statement (s)

A

There is no current through wire DC because point D cand C are equipotential

B

Current through wire AB is `I//2`

C

Current through wire AC is `I//4`

D

Net magnetic field at point O is zero

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A, B, C, D

From symmetry `I_(CD)=0`
`I_(AB)=I//2` and `I_(AC)=I_(CB)=I_(AD)=I_(DB)=I//2` and net field at centre is zero
