The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

$B= \frac{\mu_0}{4 \, \pi } \frac{2 \, \pi}{R} l = \frac{\mu_0}{4 \, \pi} \times 2 \, \pi \frac{e}{t} \times \frac{I}{R}$ = $\frac{\mu_0}{4\, \pi} \times 2 \, \pi \times \frac{e}{2 \, \pi \,R/v} \times \frac{1}{R} = \frac{\mu_0}{4\, \pi} \times 2 \, \pi \times \frac{e\, v}{2 \, \pi \, R} = \frac{\mu_0}{4\, \pi } \frac{e \, \omega}{R}$

Magnetic Field

The magnetic field is a field created by moving electric charges. It is a force field that exerts a force on materials such as iron when they are placed in its vicinity. Magnetic fields do not require a medium to propagate; they can even propagate in a vacuum. Magnetic field also referred to as a vector field, describes the magnetic influence on moving electric charges, magnetic materials, and electric currents.

A magnetic field can be presented in two ways.

  • Magnetic Field Vector: The magnetic field is described mathematically as a vector field. This vector field can be plotted directly as a set of many vectors drawn on a grid. Each vector points in the direction that a compass would point and has length dependent on the strength of the magnetic force.
  • Magnetic Field Lines: An alternative way to represent the information contained within a vector field is with the use of field lines. Here we dispense with the grid pattern and connect the vectors with smooth lines.

Properties of Magnetic Field Lines

  • Magnetic field lines never cross each other
  • The density of the field lines indicates the strength of the field
  • Magnetic field lines always make closed-loops
  • Magnetic field lines always emerge or start from the north pole and terminate at the south pole.
