    A wire carrying current\[I\]and other carrying\[2I\] in the same direction produce a magnetic field B at the mid-point. What will be the field when\[2I\]wire is switched off?

    A)  B/2           

    B)  2B

    C)  B              

    D)  4B

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     When currents in both the wries are in same direction, then magnetic field at the centre \[B={{B}_{2}}-{{B}_{1}}\] \[=\frac{{{\mu }_{0}}(2I)}{2\pi (r/2)}-\frac{{{\mu }_{0}}I}{2\pi (r/2)}\] \[=\frac{{{\mu }_{0}}I}{\pi r}\] When\[2I\]wire is switched off, then magnetic field at the centre \[B=\frac{{{\mu }_{0}}I}{2\pi (r/2)}\] \[=\frac{{{\mu }_{0}}I}{\pi r}=B\]
