Understanding the concept of magnetic field for semicircle

Semicircle wire generates a magnetic field that is half that of circle wire. We use the formula for magnetic field for semicircle, and the direction is given by right hand rule.

(a) Determining the Magnitude of the magnetic field at point P

Now magnetic field for semicircle is as follows

B1=μoIθ4πa=μoIπ4πa=μoI4a

And for radius b it is as follows

B2=μoI4b

So total magnetic field is as follows

role="math" localid="1662799565933" B=B1+B2=μoI4a+μoI4b=μoI4(1a+1b)=(4π×10-7NA-2)×(56.2×10-3A)(10.0572m+10.0936m)=4.97×10-7T

04

(b) Determining the direction of the magnetic field at point P

The direction of the magnetic field is given by the right-hand rule, and it is into the page.

05

(c) Determining the magnitude of the loop’s magnetic dipole moment

Now dipole moment is given as follows

μ=IA

Here

role="math" localid="1662799996915" A=πa2+b22=π0.0572m2+0.0936m22=0.0189m2

Now

μ=56.2×10-3A0.0189m2=1.06×10-3Am2

06

(d) Determining the direction of dipole moment

Since the direction is the same as the magnetic field, so it is into the page.
