Biot-Savart Law & Circular Coils

A long wire carries a steady current. It is bent into a circle of one turn and the magnetic field at the centre of the coil is B.B. It is then bent into a circular loop of nn turns. The magnetic field at the center of the coil will be

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. Same length: r=R/nr = R/n for nn turns.
  2. B′=μ0nI2(R/n)=n2BB' = \frac{\mu_0 n I}{2(R/n)} = n^2 B
  3. So the answer is (b) n2Bn^2 B.
