Sagot :
At r = 0.766 R the magnetic field intensity will be half of its value at the center of the current carrying loop.
We have a circular loop of radius ' r ' carrying current ' i '.
We have to find at what distance along the axis of the loop is the magnetic field one-half its value at the center of the loop.
What is the formula to calculate the Magnetic field intensity due to a current carrying circular loop at a point on its axis?
The formula to calculate the magnetic field intensity due to a current carrying ( i ) circular loop of radius ' R ' at a distance ' x ' on its axis is given by -
[tex]B(x) = \frac{\mu_{o} iR^{2} }{2(x^{2} +R^{2})^{\frac{3}{2} } }[/tex]
Now, for magnetic field intensity at the center of the loop can calculated by putting x = 0 in the above equation. On solving, we get -
[tex]B(0) = \frac{\mu_{o} i}{2R}[/tex]
Let us assume that the distance at which the magnetic field intensity is one-half its value at the center of the loop be ' r '. Then -
[tex]\frac{\mu_{o} iR^{2} }{2(r^{2} +R^{2})^{\frac{3}{2} } } = \frac{1}{2} \frac{\mu_{o}i }{2R}[/tex]
[tex]2R^{3} = (r^{2} +R^{2} )^{\frac{3}{2} }[/tex]
[tex]4R^{6} = (r^{2} +R^{2} )^{3}[/tex]
[tex]r^{2} =0.587R^{2}[/tex]
r = 0.766R
Hence, at r = 0.766 R - the magnetic field intensity will be half of its value at the center of the current carrying loop.
