Q.

Two concentric circular loops, one of radius R and the other of radius 2R, lie in the xy-plane with the origin as their common centre, as shown in the figure. The smaller loop carries current I1 in the anti-clockwise direction and the larger loop carries current I2 is the clockwise direction, with I2>2I1B(x,y) denotes the magnetic field at a point (x, y) in the xy-plane. Which of the following statement(s) is(are) correct?

a

|B(x,y)|depends on x and y only through the radial distance r=x2+y2

b

|B(x,y)| is non-zero at all points for r < R

c

B(x,y) points normally outward from the xy-plane for all the points between the two loops

d

B(x,y)is perpendicular to the xy-plane at any point in the plane

answer is A, B.

Bcenter =μ0i12Rμ0i24R,i2>2i1SoBcenter is

direction A Bchanges as we cross any wire

Due to radial symmetry B depends only on r.

consider point A just inside inner loop and B just outside it field at A due to inner loop is outward so there must be a null point somewhere between O&A (for r < R) Also field between the loops is in ward field just outside the outer loop is outward and at far a was points it is inwards. So there is another null point outside the outer loop two (for r > 2R)
