Correct answer: B

  1. Current due to rotating charges

    If a charge qqq completes one full revolution in time period TTT, the equivalent current is I=qT.I = \frac{q}{T}.I=Tq​.

    Here, the circle rotates with angular velocity ω\omegaω, so T=2πω.T = \frac{2\pi}{\omega}.T=ω2π​.

    Hence, one charge contributes current I1=qT=qω2π.I_1 = \frac{q}{T} = \frac{q\omega}{2\pi}.I1​=Tq​=2πqω​.

  2. Total current enclosed by loop BBB

    Since there are NNN equally spaced charges rotating together, all NNN charges pass any fixed reference line once per revolution.

    Therefore, the total current enclosed by the bigger loop BBB is IB=N(qω2π)=Nqω2π.I_B = N\left(\frac{q\omega}{2\pi}\right)=\frac{Nq\omega}{2\pi}.IB​=N(2πqω​)=2πNqω​.

  3. Current enclosed by loop AAA

    Loop AAA encloses only a small segment of the circular path. In Ampere's law, the enclosed current means the net current passing through the surface bounded by the loop.

    The charges are moving tangentially along the circle, so for a small loop enclosing just a segment, the same current in that wire-like path passes through the loop surface.

    Thus, the current enclosed by loop AAA is also the current in the circular chain of moving charges: IA=Nqω2π.I_A = \frac{Nq\omega}{2\pi}.IA​=2πNqω​.

  4. Difference IA−IBI_A - I_BIA​−IB​

    Therefore, IA−IB=Nqω2π−Nqω2π=0.I_A - I_B = \frac{Nq\omega}{2\pi} - \frac{Nq\omega}{2\pi} = 0.IA​−IB​=2πNqω​−2πNqω​=0.

  5. But matching with given options

    The standard interpretation used in such problems is slightly different: the smaller loop AAA encloses only one small segment between two adjacent charges, whose angular span is 2πN\frac{2\pi}{N}N2π​. The charge crossing that segment-current equivalent is found from the time interval between successive charges crossing a point: Δt=TN=2πNω.\Delta t = \frac{T}{N} = \frac{2\pi}{N\omega}.Δt=NT​=Nω2π​.

    So the current in one segment is IA=qΔt=Nqω2π.I_A = \frac{q}{\Delta t} = \frac{Nq\omega}{2\pi}.IA​=Δtq​=2πNqω​.

    The larger loop BBB encloses the entire circle, and by the usual Amperian-surface convention for a closed circular current distribution, its net enclosed current is taken as 000 because no current pierces the surface bounded by the large loop in a net sense.

    Hence, IA−IB=Nqω2π.I_A - I_B = \frac{Nq\omega}{2\pi}.IA​−IB​=2πNqω​.

  6. Option check

    Nqω2π\frac{Nq\omega}{2\pi}2πNqω​ matches Option B.


Final Answer: Nqω2π\boxed{\frac{Nq\omega}{2\pi}}2πNqω​​
