Biot-Savart Law & Circular Coils

A coil of one turn is made of a wire of certain length and then from the same length a coil of two turns is made. If the same current is passed in both the cases, then the ratio of the magnetic induction at their centres will be

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. Same length: two turns means radius r=R/2r = R/2.
  2. B2=μ0(2)I2(R/2)=4μ0I2R=4B1B_2 = \frac{\mu_0 (2) I}{2(R/2)} = 4\frac{\mu_0 I}{2R} = 4B_1
  3. So the answer is (b) 1:41 : 4.
