Biot-Savart Law & Circular Coils

A coil of n number of turns wound tightly in the form of a spiral with inner and outer radii r1 and r2 respectively. When a current of strength I is passed through the coil, the magnetic field at its centre will be:

Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

  1. Turns per unit radial width: nr2−r1\dfrac{n}{r_2-r_1}; a ring of radius rr, width drdr gives dB=μ0I2r⋅n drr2−r1dB = \dfrac{\mu_0 I}{2r}\cdot\dfrac{n\,dr}{r_2-r_1}.
  2. B=μ0nI2(r2−r1)∫r1r2drr=μ0nI2(r2−r1)ln⁡r2r1B = \dfrac{\mu_0 nI}{2(r_2-r_1)}\displaystyle\int_{r_1}^{r_2}\dfrac{dr}{r} = \dfrac{\mu_0 nI}{2(r_2-r_1)}\ln\dfrac{r_2}{r_1}
  3. So the answer is (d).
