Q.

Two semicircular ring of same radius (R) having currents  i1 and  i2 are kept parallel to each other in y-z plane as shown in the figure. Centre of first ring is kept at x = 0 and that of second ring is kept at  x=712R . The magnetic field due to semi-circular rings at point  P(x=4R3) is found to be along the x-axis and its value is  nμ0i120R. Find the value of n.

Ring 1 will produce magnetic field along -x axis and in lower half of y-z plane.

Ring 2 will produce magnetic field along -x axis and in upper half of y-z plane.

Since , it is given that the magnetic field at point P only exist in x direction, we can say that lower and upper half of magnetic field due to ring 1 and ring 2 respectively, will cancel out each other.

μ04πi1πR4R32+R2cos370=μ04πi2πR3R42+R2cos530

Using, sin370=R4R32+R2 and sin530=R3R42+R2

μ04Ri1sin2370cos370=μ04Ri2sin2530cos530

i1sin237cos37=i2sin253cos53i2=34i1Bx=μ0i14Rsin3370+μ04R×34i1sin353μ0i14R27125+34×64125μ0i14R×75125=3μ0i120R
