The correct Answer is:
To find the magnetic field intensity at the center of a circular loop carrying a steady current, we can use the formula: \[ B = \frac{\mu_0 I}{2R} \] Where: - \( B \) is the magnetic field intensity at the center of the loop, - \( \mu_0 \) is the permeability of free space (\( 4\pi \times 10^{-7} \, \text{N/A}^2 \)), - \( I \) is the current flowing through the loop (in Amperes), - \( R \) is the radius of the loop (in meters). ### Step 1: Convert the diameter to radius Given the diameter of the loop is 80 cm, we can find the radius: \[ R = \frac{\text{Diameter}}{2} = \frac{80 \, \text{cm}}{2} = 40 \, \text{cm} = 0.4 \, \text{m} \] ### Step 2: Substitute the values into the formula Now, we can substitute the values into the formula. We know: - \( \mu_0 = 4\pi \times 10^{-7} \, \text{N/A}^2 \) - \( I = 2 \, \text{A} \) - \( R = 0.4 \, \text{m} \) Substituting these values into the formula gives: \[ B = \frac{4\pi \times 10^{-7} \times 2}{2 \times 0.4} \] ### Step 3: Simplify the expression Now, simplifying the expression: \[ B = \frac{4\pi \times 10^{-7} \times 2}{0.8} \] \[ B = \frac{8\pi \times 10^{-7}}{0.8} \] \[ B = 10\pi \times 10^{-7} \, \text{T} \] ### Step 4: Substitute the value of \(\pi\) Now, substituting the value of \(\pi\) (taking \(\pi = 3.14\)): \[ B = 10 \times 3.14 \times 10^{-7} \, \text{T} \] \[ B = 31.4 \times 10^{-7} \, \text{T} \] ### Step 5: Convert to scientific notation To express this in the form of \(xx \times 10^{-6} \, \text{T}\): \[ B = 3.14 \times 10^{-6} \, \text{T} \] ### Final Answer Thus, the magnetic field intensity at the center of the loop is: \[ \text{Answer: } 3.14 \times 10^{-6} \, \text{T} \] ---
