Two infinitely long straight wires lie in the xy-plane along the lines `x =pm R`. The wire located at `x =+R` carries a constant current `I_(1)` and the wire located at ` x = -R` carries a constant current `I_(2)`. A circular loop of radius R is suspended with its centre at `(0,0, sqrt(3)R)` and in a plane parallel to the xy-plane. This loop carries a constant current ? in the clockwise direction as seen from above the loop. The current in the wire is taken to be positive if it is in the `+hat J` direction. Which of the following statements regarding the magnetic field ` vec B` is (are) true?

A

If `I_(1)=I_(2)`, then `vecB`cannot be equal to zero at the origin (0, 0, 0)

B

If `I_(1)gt0` and `I_(2)lt0`, then `vecB` can be equal to zero at the origin (0, 0, 0)

C

If `I_(1)lt0` and `I_(2)gt0` then `vecB`can be equal to zero at the origin (0, 0, 0)

D

If `I_(1)=I_(2)`, then the z-component of the magnetic field at the centre of the loop is `(-(mu_(0)I)/(2R))`

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem regarding the magnetic field generated by two infinitely long straight wires and a circular loop, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Configuration We have two infinitely long straight wires located at \( x = +R \) and \( x = -R \) in the xy-plane. The wire at \( x = +R \) carries a current \( I_1 \) in the positive y-direction, and the wire at \( x = -R \) carries a current \( I_2 \) in the negative y-direction. A circular loop of radius \( R \) is centered at \( (0, 0, \sqrt{3}R) \) and carries a current \( I \) in the clockwise direction as viewed from above. ### Step 2: Determine the Magnetic Field Due to Each Wire Using the formula for the magnetic field around a long straight wire: \[ B = \frac{\mu_0 I}{2 \pi r} \] where \( r \) is the distance from the wire. - For wire 1 at \( x = +R \): - The distance from the center of the loop to wire 1 is \( \sqrt{R^2 + ( \sqrt{3}R)^2} = \sqrt{4R^2} = 2R \). - The magnetic field \( B_1 \) due to wire 1 at the center of the loop is: \[ B_1 = \frac{\mu_0 I_1}{2 \pi (2R)} = \frac{\mu_0 I_1}{4 \pi R} \] - The direction of \( B_1 \) is determined using the right-hand rule and points in the positive z-direction (out of the page). - For wire 2 at \( x = -R \): - The distance from the center of the loop to wire 2 is also \( 2R \). - The magnetic field \( B_2 \) due to wire 2 at the center of the loop is: \[ B_2 = \frac{\mu_0 I_2}{2 \pi (2R)} = \frac{\mu_0 I_2}{4 \pi R} \] - The direction of \( B_2 \) points in the negative z-direction (into the page). ### Step 3: Calculate the Net Magnetic Field Due to the Wires - If \( I_1 = I_2 \), then: \[ B_{\text{net}} = B_1 - B_2 = \frac{\mu_0 I_1}{4 \pi R} - \frac{\mu_0 I_2}{4 \pi R} = 0 \] Thus, the magnetic field due to the wires cancels out at the center of the loop. ### Step 4: Determine the Magnetic Field Due to the Loop The magnetic field at the center of the loop due to the loop itself is given by: \[ B_{\text{loop}} = \frac{\mu_0 I}{2R} \] Since the current in the loop is clockwise, the direction of \( B_{\text{loop}} \) is in the negative z-direction (into the page). ### Step 5: Combine the Magnetic Fields - If \( I_1 = I_2 \), the total magnetic field at the center of the loop is: \[ B_{\text{total}} = B_{\text{loop}} + B_{\text{net}} = -\frac{\mu_0 I}{2R} + 0 = -\frac{\mu_0 I}{2R} \] ### Conclusion The magnetic field at the center of the loop is non-zero and directed into the page when \( I_1 = I_2 \).
