Q. Two concentric coils each of radius equal to $2\pi\ cm$ are placed at right angles to each other. $3\ A$ and $4\ A$ are the currents flowing in each coil respectively. The magnetic induction in $Wb/m^{2}$ at the centre of the coils will be $(\mu_{0} = 4\pi \times 10^{- 7}Wb/Am)$
A) $12 \times 10^{- 5}$
B) $10^{- 5}$
C) $5 \times 10^{- 5}$
D) $7 \times 10^{- 5}$
Explanation
(c) $B_{p} = \frac{\mu_{0}I_{2}}{2R}$
$= \frac{4\pi \times 10^{- 7} \times 4}{2 \times 0.02\pi} = 4 \times 10^{- 5}Wb/m^{2}$

$B_{Q} = \frac{\mu_{0}I_{1}}{2R}$
$= \frac{4\pi \times 10^{- 7} \times 3}{2 \times 0.02\pi} = 3 \times 10^{- 5}Wb/m^{2}$
$\therefore B = \sqrt{B_{p}^{2} + B_{Q}^{2}}$
$= \sqrt{\left( 4 \times 10^{- 5} \right)^{2} + \left( 3 \times 10^{- 5} \right)^{2}} = 5 \times 10^{- 5}Wb/m^{2}$
