Question

Figure shows a long wire bent at the middle to form a right angle. Show that the magnitudes of the magnetic fields at the points $Q$ and $R$ are unequal and find these magnitudes. The wire $w_{1}$ and the circumference circle are coplanar and $w_{2}$ is perpendicular to plane of paper. Also find the ratio of field at $Q$ and $R$ .

Solution

Given $w_{2} ⊥ r$ and $w_{1}$ co-planner with circle.
$B_{Q} =$ magnetic field at $Q$ due to wire $(w_{1} + w_{2})$ where $B$ due to $w_{!} = 0$ since $θ = 0 °$
$⟹ B_{Q}$ magnetic field due to $w_{2} = \frac{μ_{0} I}{4 π d}$
$B_{R} =$ Magnetic field at $R$ due to wire $(w_{1} + w_{2})$
$= \frac{μ_{0} I}{4 π d} + \frac{μ_{0} I}{4 π d} = \frac{μ_{0} I}{2 π d}$
$B_{R} = 2 B_{Q}$
