The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

1. Configuration A: - Using Biot-Savart's law, the magnetic field at point \(O\) is: \[ B = \frac{\mu_0 I}{4\pi r} [\pi + 2]. \]
2. Configuration B: - The magnetic field at \(O\) is: \[ B = \frac{\mu_0 I}{4\pi r} [2\pi - 1]. \]
3. Configuration C: - The magnetic field at \(O\) is: \[ B = \frac{\mu_0 I}{4\pi r} [\pi - 1]. \]
4. Configuration D: - The magnetic field at \(O\) is: \[ B = \frac{\mu_0 I}{4\pi r} [2\pi + 1]. \]
Thus, the correct match is: A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II. The magnetic field at a point due to a current configuration is calculated using Biot-Savart's law or Ampère's circuital law.

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.
