As shown in the figure, a current of 2 A flowing in an equilateral triangle of side 43 cm . The magnetic field at the centroid O of the triangle is :

(Neglect the effect of earth’s magnetic field)

Options:

Answer:
D
Solution:

Perpendicular distance of centroid from any of the sides will be, dtan60°=23

d=2 cm

Each side will subtend an angle of 120° at the centre. Also magnetic field due to all sides will be out of plane of paper, hence total magnetic field can be written as

B=3×μ0i4πdsin60°+sin60°

=3×10-7×22×10-2×3

=33×10-5 T
