Circular sector
I'm trying to draw a circular sector. The code:
documentclass[tikz,border=5pt]{standalone}
begin{document}
begin{tikzpicture}[thick,font=sffamilyLarge]
draw (0,0) circle (4cm);
filldraw circle (1pt) node[below] {$O$};
%secteur
draw[fill=blue!30, opacity = 1] (0,0) -- (220:4) arc(220:120:4) -- cycle;
%angle
draw[<-, color = blue] (220:1.2) arc(220:120:1.2) node[midway,left]{$alpha$};
%L
draw[latex-latex, color = red] (220:4) arc(220:120:4) node[midway,left]{L};
%rayon
draw[very thick,-latex] (0,0) -- (20:4) node[midway,above]{1};
end{tikzpicture}
end{document}
somewhat works but needs a few tweaks that I've been unable to do, namely remove the dark color that overlaps with the red color on the arc named L, make the center O just a little below and add a pointing arrow to the red arc.
Thanks for the help!
edit:
Thanks!
How can I add a pointing arrow named B like that:

I've tried draw (-1.2,2.2) -- (-0.23,1.1) node at (-1.37,2.37) {$B$}; but guesstimating doesn't work

- I draw an arc instead of a circle at first to avoid overlapping, which leads to the "dark color".
- I use
pathinstead ofdrawso that the outline of the arc is not drawn. - I use the command you used to draw the arrow from O to the red arc.
- I use
below=1exto make O lower a bit.
Code:
documentclass[tikz,border=5pt]{standalone}
begin{document}
begin{tikzpicture}[thick,font=sffamilyLarge]
%draw (0,0) circle (4cm);
draw (120:4) arc (120:-140:4);
path[fill=blue!30, opacity = 1] (0,0) -- (220:4) arc(220:120:4) -- cycle;
draw (220:4)--(0,0)--(120:4);
filldraw circle (1pt) node[below=1ex] {$O$};
draw[<-, color = blue] (220:1.2) arc(220:120:1.2) node[midway,left]{$alpha$};
draw[latex-latex, color = red] (220:4) arc(220:120:4) node[midway,left]{L};
draw[very thick,-latex] (0,0) -- (20:4) node[midway,above]{1};
draw[very thick,-latex] (0,0) -- (195:4) node[midway,above]{1};
draw[latex-] (160:4) --++(-2,2) node[pos=1.1] {$B$};
end{tikzpicture}
end{document}
