Biot-Savart Law & Circular Coils

A long wire is bent into a circular coil of one turn and then into a circular coil of smaller radius having nn turns. If the same current passes in both the cases, the ratio of magnetic fields produced at the centre for one turn to that of nn turns is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

  1. Same length: r=R/nr = R/n for nn turns.
  2. Bn=μ0nI2(R/n)=n2B1B_n = \frac{\mu_0 n I}{2(R/n)} = n^2 B_1
  3. So the answer is (c) 1:n21 : n^2.
