A current I si established in a closed loop of an triangle ABC of side l. find the magnetic field at the centroid O

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

From geometry
`OP = (l)/(2 sqrt(3))`
Magnetic fields due to current in all the three sides are equal in magnitude and directed into the plane of the paper
Hence net `B = (3 mu_(0) I)/(4 pi r) [sin theta]_((pi)/(3))^((pi)/(3))` where `r = (l)/(2 sqrt(3))`
`= (3 mu_(0) I)/(4 pi r) xx 2 sin ((pi)/(3)) = (9 mu_(0)I)/(2 pi l)` units
