BeginnerMCQMathematicalProportional Analysis22.2k
Three isolated, thin circular wire arcs carry steady currents as described in the table. Each arc is centered at its respective center of curvature.

ArcRadiusCurrentSubtended Angle
1\(R\)\(I\)\(\pi\text{ rad}\)
2\(2R\)\(2I\)\(\dfrac{\pi}{2}\text{ rad}\)
3\(R\)\(3I\)\(\dfrac{\pi}{2}\text{ rad}\)

Which of the following correctly ranks the magnitude of the magnetic field \(B\) produced at the center of curvature of each arc?
