JEE Main 2023Magnetic Effects of Current Question with Solution

JEE Main 2023 (29 Jan Shift 1)

Question

A single current carrying loop of wire carrying current I flowing in anticlockwise direction seen from +ve z direction and lying in xy plane is shown in figure. The plot of j^ component of magnetic field (By) at a distance a (less than radius of the coil) and on yz plane vs z coordinate looks like

Correct answer
C

Step-by-step explanation

Magnetic field in plane of coil is By = 0

The direction of j^ component of magnetic field By is opposite of each other in z and +z positions.

So, the variation of magnetic field is shown below.
