A 3D coordinate system with axes labeled x, y, and z. A flat circular loop of radius R lies in the xy-plane, centered at the origin. Arrows along the loop indicate counterclockwise current I when viewed from above looking down along the z-axis. A uniform external magnetic field vector labeled B_0 starts at the origin and points into the xz-plane at an angle theta measured relative to the positive z-axis. Dashed projection lines show the components of B_0 along the x-axis and z-axis. No other text, lines, or labels appear.
A circular loop of current in a uniform oblique magnetic field.
A thin, circular wire loop of radius \(R\) lies in the \(xy\)-plane centered at the origin and carries a steady current \(I\) in the counterclockwise direction when viewed from the positive \(z\)-axis. The loop is placed in a uniform external magnetic field \(\vec{B}_0\) that lies in the \(xz\)-plane and makes an angle \(\theta\) with the positive \(z\)-axis, where \(0 < \theta < 90^\circ\). Which of the following expressions represents the magnitude of the net magnetic field at the center of the loop?
