Answer:
B. 1.6 x 10⁻³ m
Explanation:
The magnetic field at the center of the loop is given by;
[tex]B = \frac{\mu_o I }{2R}[/tex]
Where;
μ₀ is the permeability of free space
I is the current in the loop
R is the radius of the circular loop
B is the magnetic field
Given;
diameter of the loop = 1cm
radius of the loop, r = 0.5 cm = 0.005 m
magnetic field, B = 2.5mT = 2.5 x 10⁻³ T
The current in the loop is calculated as;
[tex]I = \frac{2BR}{\mu_o} \\\\I = \frac{2*2.5*10^{-3}*0.005}{4\pi*10^{-7}} \\\\I = 19.89 \ A[/tex]
The magnetic at a distance from the long straight wire is calculated as;
[tex]B = \frac{\mu_o I}{2\pi d}[/tex]
where;
d is the distance from the wire;
[tex]d = \frac{\mu_o I}{2\pi B} \\\\d = \frac{4\pi *10^{-7} * 19.89}{2\pi *2.5*10^{-3}} \\\\d = 1.6 *10^{-3} \ m[/tex]
Therefore, the distance from the wire where the magnetic field is 2.5 mT is 1.6 x 10⁻³ m.
B. 1.6 x 10⁻³ m
This question involves the concepts of the magnetic field due to a loop and a current-carrying wire and current.
A long straight wire carrying the same current as the loop of wire has a magnetic field of 2.5 mT at a distance of b "B. 1.5 x 10⁻³ m".
The magnetic field at the center of a loop of wire is given by the following formula:
[tex]B=\frac{\mu_o I}{2r}[/tex]
where,
B = Magnetic Field = 2.5 mT = 2.5 x 10⁻³ T
μ₀ = permeability of free space = 4π x 10⁻⁷ N/A²
I = current = ?
r = radius = diameter/2 = 1 cm/2 = 0.5 cm = 0.005 m
Therefore,
[tex]I = \frac{(2.5\ x\ 10^{-3}\ T)(2)(0.005\ m)}{4\pi\ x\ 10^{-7}\ N/A^2}[/tex]
I = 19.9 A
Now, the magnetic field at a distance from the straight wire is given by the following formula:
[tex]B=\frac{\mu_o I}{2\pi R}[/tex]
where,
R = distance from wire = ?
Therefore,
[tex]R = \frac{(4\pi \ x \ 10^{-7}\ N/A^2)(19.9\ A)}{2\pi(2.5\ x\ 10^{-3}\ T)}[/tex]
R = 1.6 x 10⁻³ m
