The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of finding the magnetic induction at a point 5 cm from either end of a straight wire carrying a current of 50 A, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Given Data:** - Current (I) = 50 A - Length of the wire (L) = 6 cm = 0.06 m - Distance from either end to the point (r) = 5 cm = 0.05 m - Conversion factor: 1 Gauss = \(10^{-4}\) T 2. **Understand the Geometry:** - The wire is of finite length, and we need to find the magnetic field at a point P which is 5 cm from either end of the wire. - The wire can be considered as extending from point A to point B, where A and B are the ends of the wire. 3. **Determine the Angles:** - The distance from the midpoint of the wire to point P is 3 cm (half of the wire length) vertically and 5 cm horizontally. - Using the Pythagorean theorem, we can find the distances: - \(OP^2 = OA^2 + AP^2\) - \(OP^2 = 3^2 + 5^2\) - \(OP = \sqrt{9 + 25} = \sqrt{34} \approx 5.83 \text{ cm}\) 4. **Calculate Sine of Angles:** - For the angles θ1 and θ2 at points A and B: - \(\sin(\theta_1) = \frac{3}{5}\) and \(\sin(\theta_2) = \frac{3}{5}\) 5. **Use the Formula for Magnetic Field:** - The formula for the magnetic field (B) due to a finite straight wire is given by: \[ B = \frac{\mu_0 I}{4\pi r} (\sin \theta_1 + \sin \theta_2) \] - Where: - \(\mu_0 = 4\pi \times 10^{-7} \text{ T m/A}\) 6. **Substituting Values:** - Substitute the known values into the formula: \[ B = \frac{(4\pi \times 10^{-7}) \times 50}{4\pi \times 0.05} \left(\frac{3}{5} + \frac{3}{5}\right) \] - Simplifying: \[ B = \frac{(10^{-7} \times 50)}{0.05} \times \frac{6}{5} \] 7. **Calculating the Magnetic Field:** - Calculate: \[ B = 10^{-6} \times 6 = 6 \times 10^{-6} \text{ T} \] 8. **Convert to Gauss:** - Since \(1 \text{ Gauss} = 10^{-4} \text{ T}\): \[ B = \frac{6 \times 10^{-6}}{10^{-4}} = 60 \text{ Gauss} \] ### Final Answer: The magnetic induction at the point 5 cm from either end of the wire is **60 Gauss**. ---
