JEE Main 2024Magnetic Effects of Current Question with Solution

JEE Main 2024 (31 Jan Shift 2)

Question

Two circular coils P and Q of 100 turns each have same radius of π cm. The currents in P and R are 1 A and 2 A respectively. P and Q are placed with their planes mutually perpendicular with their centers coincide. The resultant magnetic field induction at the center of the coils is x mT, where x= ______. [Use μ0=4π×107 T m A1]

Correct answer
20

Step-by-step explanation

Consider two coils as shown below:

Magnetic field due to P, BP=Nμ0i12r=100×μ0×12π×10-2=2×103 T

Magnetic field due to Q, 

BQ=Nμ0i22r=100×μ0×22π×10-2=4×103 T

Therefore, Bnet=BP2+BQ2

=20  mT

Hence, x=20
