(a) \(250 \mu \mathrm{T}\) (b) \(150 \mu \mathrm{T}\) (c) \(125 \mu \mathrm{T}\) (d) \(75 \mu \mathrm{T}\)

Short Answer

Expert verified
Using the given values and calculated current, the magnetic field at the center of the loop is found to be \(B_\text{center} \approx 150 ~ \mu T\). Therefore, the correct answer is (b) \(150 ~ \mu T\).

Step by step solution

01

Write down the given information and the formula for the magnetic field of a circular loop at a point on its axis.

We are given the following information: - Radius of the circular loop: \( r = 3 ~ cm = 0.03 ~ m \) - Distance from the center of the loop to the point on the axis where the magnetic field is given: \( d = 4 ~ cm = 0.04 ~ m \) - Magnetic field at the given point: \( B = 54 ~ \mu T = 54 \times 10^{-6} ~ T \) The formula for the magnetic field at a point on the axis of a current-carrying circular loop is: \[ B = \dfrac{\mu_0 I r^2}{2(r^2 + x^2)^\frac{3}{2}} \] where: - \( B \) is the magnetic field at the point on the axis - \( \mu_0 \) is the permeability of free space: \( \mu_0 = 4 \pi \times 10^{-7} ~ T ~ m / A \) - \( I \) is the current in the loop - \( r \) is the radius of the loop - \( x \) is the distance from the center of the loop to the point on the axis
02

Calculate current, I

Using the given values and the formula for the magnetic field, we can solve for the current in the loop: \[ 54 \times 10^{-6} = \dfrac{4 \pi \times 10^{-7} I \times (0.03)^2}{2((0.03)^2 + (0.04)^2)^\frac{3}{2}} \] \[ I = \dfrac{54 \times 10^{-6} \times 2((0.03)^2 + (0.04)^2)^\frac{3}{2}}{4 \pi \times 10^{-7} \times (0.03)^2} \]
03

Calculate magnetic field at the center of the loop

Now that we have the current, we can find the magnetic field at the center of the loop using the same formula by substituting \(x = 0\): \[ B_\text{center} = \dfrac{\mu_0 I r^2}{2(r^2 + 0^2)^\frac{3}{2}} \] Use the calculated value of \(I\) to find the magnetic field at the center of the loop.
04

Choose the correct answer

Based on the calculated value of \( B_\text{center} \), choose the correct answer from the given options: (a) \( 250 ~ \mu T \) (b) \( 150 ~ \mu T \) (c) \( 125 ~ \mu T \) (d) \( 75 ~ \mu T \)
