MCQ
Two identical current carrying coaxial loops, carry current I in an opposite sense. A simple amperian loop passes through both of them once. Calling the loop as C:
  • A
    $\oint\text{B.dl}=\pm2\mu_0\text{I}.$
  • B
    The value of $\oint\text{B.dl}$ is independent of sense of C.
  • C
    There may be a point on C where B and dl are perpendicular.
  • D
    B vanishes every where on C.

Answer

  1. The value of $\oint\text{B.dl}$ is independent of sense of C.
  2. There may be a point on C where B and dl are perpendicular.

Solution:

Key concept: Ampere’s law gives another method to calculate the magnetic field due to a given current distribution.

Line integral of the magnetic field $\vec{\text{B}}$ around any closed curve is equal to $\mu_0$ times the net current i threading through the area enclosed by the curve, i.e.,

$\oint\vec{\text{B}}.\vec{\text{dI}}=\mu_0\sum\text{i}=\mu_0(\text{i}_1+\text{i}_3-\text{i}_2)$

Total current crossing the above area is (i1 + i3 - i2). Any current outside the area is not included in net current. $(\text{Outward}\ \circledcirc\rightarrow\ +\text{ve},\text{ Inward}\ \otimes\ \rightarrow\ -\text{ve})$

Applying the Ampere's circuital law, we have

$\oint\ \text{B.dl}=\text{i}_0(\text{I}-\text{I})=0$ (because current is in opposite sense.)

Also, there may be a point on C where B and dl are perpendiclular and hence,

$\oint\limits_\text{c}\text{B.dI}=0.$
