The magnetic field due to a current carrying loop of radius $3 \mathrm{~cm}$ at a point on its axis at a distance of $4 \mathrm{~cm}$ from its centre of $54 \mu \mathrm{T}$. Then, the value of the magnetic field at the centre of the loop is
  1. $250 \mu \top$
  2. $150 \mu \top$
  3. $75 \mu \top$
  4. $125 \mu \top$

Solution

$B_{\text {axis }}=54 \times 10^{-6}=\frac{\mu N I r^2}{2\left(r^2+x^2\right)^{3 / 2}}$ Here, $\quad r=3 \mathrm{~cm}=3 \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{~m}$ and $x=4 \mathrm{~cm}=4 \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{~m}$. From above relation, we get $ \mu N I=\frac{54 \times 10^{-2} \times 2 \times\left(25 \times 10^{-4}\right)^{3 / 2}}{\left(3 \times 10^{-2}\right)^2} $ So, $B_{\text {centre }}=\frac{\mu N I}{2 r}=250 \mu \mathrm{T}$
