The correct Answer is:
To find the magnetic field at the center of a hexagonal wire carrying current 'I' with 50 turns, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Geometry**: - A hexagon can be divided into 6 equilateral triangles. Each side of the hexagon is of length 'a'. - The center of the hexagon is equidistant from all sides. 2. **Finding the Perpendicular Distance**: - The distance from the center of the hexagon to the midpoint of one side (perpendicular distance) can be calculated using trigonometry. - For an equilateral triangle, the height can be calculated as: \[ r = a \cdot \cos(30^\circ) = a \cdot \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \] 3. **Magnetic Field Due to One Segment**: - The magnetic field at a distance 'r' from a long straight wire carrying current 'I' is given by: \[ B = \frac{\mu_0 I}{2\pi r} \] - However, since we are considering the contribution from both sides of the wire segment, we need to account for the angles. - The angle between the wire and the line joining the center to the wire is 30 degrees on either side. - Therefore, the contribution from one segment can be expressed as: \[ B_{\text{segment}} = \frac{\mu_0 I}{4\pi r} \cdot (\sin(30^\circ) + \sin(30^\circ)) = \frac{\mu_0 I}{4\pi r} \cdot (0.5 + 0.5) = \frac{\mu_0 I}{4\pi r} \] 4. **Total Magnetic Field from All Segments**: - Since there are 6 segments in the hexagon, the total magnetic field at the center due to all segments is: \[ B_{\text{total}} = 6 \cdot B_{\text{segment}} = 6 \cdot \frac{\mu_0 I}{4\pi r} = \frac{3\mu_0 I}{2\pi r} \] 5. **Substituting the Value of r**: - Substitute \( r = \frac{\sqrt{3}a}{2} \): \[ B_{\text{total}} = \frac{3\mu_0 I}{2\pi \cdot \frac{\sqrt{3}a}{2}} = \frac{3\mu_0 I}{\pi \sqrt{3}a} \] 6. **Considering the Number of Turns**: - Since there are 50 turns, the total magnetic field becomes: \[ B_{\text{final}} = 50 \cdot B_{\text{total}} = 50 \cdot \frac{3\mu_0 I}{\pi \sqrt{3}a} = \frac{150\mu_0 I}{\pi \sqrt{3}a} \] 7. **Expressing in Terms of Given Quantity**: - The problem asks for the answer in multiples of \( \frac{\mu_0 I}{a \pi} \): \[ B_{\text{final}} = 150 \cdot \frac{\mu_0 I}{\pi a \sqrt{3}} \] - Thus, the multiple is: \[ \text{Multiple} = \frac{150}{\sqrt{3}} = 50 \sqrt{3} \] ### Final Answer: The magnetic field at the center of the hexagonal wire is \( 50 \sqrt{3} \cdot \frac{\mu_0 I}{a \pi} \).
