A straight wire, of length metre is bent into a circular shape. If the wire were to carry a current of , calculate the magnetic field, due to it, before bending, at a point distance times the radius of the circle formed from it. Also calculate the magnetic field, at the centre of the circular loop formed, for the same value of current.

Important Questions on Magnetic Effect of Current

A thick straight copper wire, carrying a current of is bent into a semicircular arc of radius as shown in Figure (a) (i) State the direction and calculate the magnitude of magnetic field at the centre of arc. (ii) How would your answer change if the same wire were bent into a semicircular arc of the same radius but in opposite way as shown in Figure (b)?
