Correct answer: D
- Magnetic field at the center of a circular coil
For a single circular coil of radius carrying current , the magnetic field at the center is
Given:
So,
Thus for each coil:
- For A,
- For A,
- Direction of the two magnetic fields
The coils are at right angles to each other, so the planes of the coils are perpendicular. Therefore, the magnetic fields at the common center are also perpendicular.
Hence resultant field is
- Matching with options
So the correct option is D.
