Q11 · Physics

A current I0I_0 flows through a metallic circular loop of radius r as shown in the figure. Resistance of the segment ABC is half that of ADC. Magnitude of magnetic field at the center O of the loop is :

The figure, described in words

Circular loop of radius r, centre O; current I0 enters at A (top) and leaves at C (bottom), splitting into arcs ABC (left) and ADC (right).
