Q.

An infinitely long wire lying along z-axis carries a current I, flowing in positives z-direction. There is no other current. Consider a circle in x-y plane with centre at (2,0,0)m and radius 1m. Divide the circle in small segments and let dl denote the length of a small segment in anticlockwise direction, as shown.

Detailed Solution

Consider a closed amperian loop ABCOA. No current is passing throught the area of the loop

  Bdl=0 or, ABCBdl+CABdl=0

Question Image

or, ABCBdl=CABdl

but the magnetic field is perpendicular to the x axis at all point on it.

CABdl=0; ABCBdl=0

Now, consider a square shaped Amperian loop PQRS. O is the centre of the given circle.

Question Image

RSPQR Bdl=μ0I or RSBdl+SPBdl+PQBdl+QRBdl=μ0I

All 4 integrals must be equal.

SPBdl=μ0I4; OPBdl=12μ0I4=μ0I8

For the given circle

Question Image

  OTP Bdl=0  OTBdl+TPBdl+POBdl=0

or, 0+TPBdl=POBdl=OPBdl=μ0I8
