Biot-Savart Law & Circular Coils

BXB_X and BYB_Y are the magnetic fields at the centre of two coils XX and YY respectively each carrying equal current. If coil XX has 200 turns and 20 cm20\text{ cm} radius and coil YY has 400 turns and 20 cm20\text{ cm} radius, the ratio of BXB_X and BYB_Y is:

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. B=μ0NI2rB = \frac{\mu_0 N I}{2r}; same II and rr, so B∝NB \propto N.
  2. BXBY=200400=12\frac{B_X}{B_Y} = \frac{200}{400} = \frac{1}{2}
  3. So the answer is (b) 1:21:2.
