Question

A 3.0 cm segment of a wire, centred at the origin (0, 0, 0) lies along Y-axis. It carries a current of 6.0 A in positive Y-direction. The magnetic field due to this segment at a point (3.0 m, 0, 0) is [(μo4π)=107(\frac{μ _o}{4π})=10^{-7}​ Tm/A, and i, j and k are unit vectors along X-axis, Y-axis and Z-axis, respectively]

A.

(1.0×109 T) k(1.0×10^{-9}\space\text T)\space\text k ​​

B.

(2.0×109 T) k(2.0×10^{-9}\space\text T)\space\text k ​​

C.

(1.0×109 T) k-(1.0×10^{-9}\space\text T)\space\text k ​​

D.

(2.0×109 T) k-(2.0×10^{-9}\space\text T)\space\text k ​​

Correct option is D

The Biot-Savart law gives the magnetic field B due to a small current element:B=μ0i dl×r^4πr2\text{The Biot-Savart law gives the magnetic field } \vec{B} \text{ due to a small current element:} \\\vec{B} = \frac{\mu_0 i \, d\vec{l} \times \hat{r}}{4 \pi r^2}

Where:μ04π=107 Tm/A (constant),i=6.0 A,dl=0.03j^ m (the current element along the Y-axis),r^=i^ (unit vector along the X-axis),r=3.0 m (distance from the origin to the point on the X-axis).\text{Where:} \\\frac{\mu_0}{4\pi} = 10^{-7} \ \text{Tm/A (constant)}, \\i = 6.0 \ \text{A}, \\d\vec{l} = 0.03 \hat{j} \ \text{m (the current element along the Y-axis)}, \\\hat{r} = \hat{i} \text{ (unit vector along the X-axis)}, \\r = 3.0 \ \text{m (distance from the origin to the point on the X-axis)}.

The vector cross product dl×r^ gives us:dl=0.03j^,r^=i^dl×r^=0.03j^×i^=0.03k^\text{The vector cross product } d\vec{l} \times \hat{r} \text{ gives us:} \\d\vec{l} = 0.03 \hat{j}, \hat{r} = \hat{i} \\d\vec{l} \times \hat{r} = 0.03 \hat{j} \times \hat{i} = 0.03 \hat{k}

Now substitute the values into the Biot-Savart law:B=107×6.0×(0.03k^)(3)2\text{Now substitute the values into the Biot-Savart law:} \\\vec{B} = \frac{10^{-7} \times 6.0 \times (0.03 \hat{k})}{(3)^2}

Simplifying:B=107×6.0×0.03k^÷9B=2×109k^ T\text{Simplifying:} \\\vec{B} = 10^{-7} \times 6.0 \times 0.03 \hat{k} \div 9 \\\vec{B} = 2 \times 10^{-9} \hat{k} \ \text{T}

The magnetic field at point (3,0,0) is:2.0×109k^ T\text{The magnetic field at point } (3, 0, 0) \text{ is:} \\-2.0 \times 10^{-9} \hat{k} \ \text{T}​​​​​​​
