Biot-Savart Law & Circular Coils

The electric current in a circular coil of 2 turns produces a magnetic induction B1 at its centre. The coil is unwound and is rewound into a circular coil of 5 turns and the same current produces a magnetic induction B2 at its centre. The ratio of B2B1\frac{B_2}{B_1} is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. For the same wire, B∝n2B \propto n^2.
  2. B2B1=(52)2=254\frac{B_2}{B_1} = \left(\frac{5}{2}\right)^2 = \frac{25}{4}
  3. So the answer is (b) 254\frac{25}{4}.
