As shown in the figure, a long straight conductor with semicircular arc of radius is carrying current . The magnitude of the magnetic field. at the center of the arc is: (The permeability of the vacuum )
The formula to calculate the magnetic field produced at the centre of a circular current carrying conductor is given by
where, is the permeability of free space, is the current through the conductor, is the radius of the circular conductor and is the angle subtended by the arc at the centre.
From the given figure, it is clear that the arc of the conductor makes an angle at its centre.
Substitute the known values of the parameters into equation (1) to calculate the required magnetic field.
