Not your everyday wire

In this problem we deal with a wire that not ideal . The circuit is made of a wire shaped as a circle. A current of value I I passes through the first part of the wire (before it reaches the circular part). At first, S 1 S1 is turned on and a magnetic flux density of value B 1 B1 is created in the center of the circle (assume that the magnetic flux is created only by the circular part). After this, S 1 S1 is switched off and S 2 S2 is turned on. Now we get another magnetic flux density of value B 2 B2 .

Find the the sum of B 1 + B 2 |B1|+|B2| and give your answer to two decimal places.

Note: The A O B = 9 0 \angle AOB=90^\circ and A O C = 12 0 \angle AOC = 120^\circ .


The answer is 0.00.

It is stated that the wires are not ideal.which means that they have a constant resistance per unit lenght

In the 1st case when S 1 S1 is turned on the current after reaching point A A finds two paths with different resistance.. If path A B AB has a resistance R R then path A C B ACB has a resistance 3 R 3R as it is 3 times longer than A B AB

So the current through A B AB , I A B I_{AB} = 3 4 I \frac {3}{4}I

And the current through A C B ACB , I A C B I_{ACB} = 1 4 I \frac{1}{4}I

Now the magnetic flux intensity created by the A B AB part in the center can be given by-

B A B B_{AB} = 0 π 2 μ I A B 4 π r d θ \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \frac{\mu I_{AB}}{4\pi r} d\theta

B A B B_{AB} = 3 μ I 32 r \frac{3\mu I}{32r}

Now again the magnetic flux intensity created by the A C B ACB part can be given by-

B A C B B_{ACB} = 0 3 π 2 μ I A C B 4 π r d θ \int_{0}^{\frac{3\pi}{2}} \frac{\mu I_{ACB}}{4\pi r} d\theta

B A C B B_{ACB} = 3 μ I 32 r \frac{3\mu I}{32r}

So it seems that B A B = B A C B B_{AB}=B_{ACB} But if we use the right hand rule we find that B A B B_{AB} and B A C B B_{ACB} have opposite direction

So, B 1 = B A B B A C B B1=B_{AB}-B_{ACB}

B 1 = 0 B1=0

In the same way we would find that B 2 = 0 B2=0

So, B 1 + B 2 = 0.00 B1+B2=0.00

A n s w e r : 0.00 \boxed{Answer: 0.00}

The two decimal places were just there to throw you off... :3
