Solution
Magentic field at the centre of the coil are perpendicular to each other. Therefore net magnetic field (B) is the resultant of the two fields caused due to coil P and Q, respectively.
`B_P = (μ_oI)/(2πR)= (μ_o)/(2πR)`
`B_Q= (μ_oI)/(2πR)= (μ_osqrt3)/(2πR)`
Net magnetic field, `B = sqrt(B_P^2 + B_Q^2)`
`=sqrt((μ_o/(2πR))^2 + ( (μ_osqrt3)/(2πR))^2) `
`= μ_o/(2πR)sqrt4`
`= μ_o/(πR)`
For direction of net magnetic field
`tanβ =(AB)/(BC)`
`= (μ_o/(2πR))/((μ_osqrt3)/(2πR)) = 1/sqrt3`
`β= 30^@`
The direction of net magnetic field is 30° with the X-direction.
