Answer:

The magnetic field at the center of a circular loop is
3.14*10^(-5)\ T.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Radius = 4.0 cm

Current = 2.0 A

We need to calculate the magnetic field at the center of a circular loop

Using formula of magnetic field


B = (I\mu_(0))/(2r)

Where, I = current

r = radius

Put the value into the formula


B =(2.0*4\pi*10^(-7))/(2*4.0*10^(-2))


B =0.00003141\ T


B=3.14*10^(-5)\ T

Hence, The magnetic field at the center of a circular loop is
3.14*10^(-5)\ T.
