Q.

A current I = 20 ampere flows through a wire shaped in the form of an infinite parabola of   latus rectum 4a(a=1mm) . If the magnetic field at the focus of the parabola is ηπ×10β  tesla, where η and β are the positive integer, less than 9. Find the value of  η×β.

The magnetic field at the focus P of the parabola is given by the Biot-savart law:
B=μ04πIdl×rr3 , Question Image
Where r  and dl0 are as shown in figure. The direction of  B is perpendicular to the plane  of the parabola and out of it. We note that 
|dl×r|r3=rdlsinαr3=rdθr2=dθr .
Therefore, B=(μ0I/4π)02π(dθ/r) . The equation of the parabola is r(1cosθ)=2a ,  so that   B=μ0I4π02x(1cosθ)2adθ=μ0I4a=4×π×107×204×103=2π×103 tesla
