    Circular loop of a wire and a long straight wire carry currents\[{{I}_{c}}\,and\,{{I}_{e}}\], respectively as shown in the figure. Assuming that these are placed in the same plane. The magnetic field will be zero at the centre of the loop when the separation H is Wire

    A) \[\frac{{{I}_{e}}R}{{{I}_{c}}\pi }\]                              

    B) \[\frac{{{I}_{e}}R}{{{I}_{e}}\pi }\]

    C) \[\frac{\pi {{I}_{c}}}{{{I}_{e}}R}\]                              

    D) \[\frac{{{I}_{e}}\pi }{{{I}_{c}}R}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Magnetic field at the centre O of the loop of radius R is given by \[{{B}_{1}}=\frac{{{\mu }_{0}}{{I}_{c}}}{2R}\]                               where \[{{I}_{c}}\] is the current flowing in the loop. Magnetic field due to straight current carrying wire at a distance H, i.e., at the point O is given by \[{{B}_{2}}=\frac{{{\mu }_{0}}{{I}_{e}}}{2\pi H}\] For magnetic field to be zero at the centre of the loop, \[{{B}_{1}}={{B}_{2}}\] That is, \[\frac{{{\mu }_{0}}{{I}_{c}}}{2R}\,\,=\,\,\frac{{{\mu }_{0}}{{I}_{e}}}{2\pi H}\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,H=\frac{{{I}_{e}}R}{\pi {{I}_{c}}}\]
