Question

A circular loop of radius \( 0.15 \, \text{m} \) with 15 turns carries a current of \( 2 \, \text{A}
\). What is the magnetic field at the center? (\( \mu_0 = 4 \pi \times 10^{-7} \, \text{T m/A} \))

Explanation

**Ampere's circuital law** ∮ B·dl = μ₀ I_enc explains solenoid field, choosing rectangular Amperian loop with one side inside, one outside where B≈0, giving B L = μ₀ n L I ⇒ B = μ₀ n I. Toroid B = μ₀ N I/(2π r) inside, zero outside, field confined. Magnetic field B = (μ₀ N I/2 R) . B = (4 π × 10⁻⁷ × 15 × 2/2 × 0.15) = (12 π × 10⁻⁶/0.3) = 4 π × 10⁻⁵ ≈ 1.26 × 10⁻⁴ T . Using F = q v B sinθ, F = I l B sinθ, B = μ₀ I/(2π r), B
