Vedclass · Answer

(C) Given: Current $i = 30 \ A$, External magnetic field $B_1 = 4 	imes 10^{-4} \ T$, Distance $r = 2 \ cm = 2 	imes 10^{-2} \ m$.The magnetic field produced by the straight wire at a distance $r$ is given by $B_2 = \frac{\mu_0 i}{2 \pi r}$.Substituting the values: $B_2 = \frac{2 	imes 10^{-7} 	imes 30}{2 	imes 10^{-2}} = 3 	imes 10^{-4} \ T$.Since the external magnetic field $B_1$ is parallel to the wire, the magnetic field $B_2$ produced by the wire (which is tangential to the circular path around the wire) is perpendicular to $B_1$.Therefore, the resultant magnetic field $B$ is $B = \sqrt{B_1^2 + B_2^2}$.$B = \sqrt{(4 	imes 10^{-4})^2 + (3 	imes 10^{-4})^2} = \sqrt{16 	imes 10^{-8} + 9 	imes 10^{-8}} = \sqrt{25 	imes 10^{-8}} = 5 	imes 10^{-4} \ T$.
