Biot-Savart Law & Circular Coils

The fractional change in the magnetic field intensity at a distance 'r' from centre on the axis of current carrying coil of radius 'a' to the magnetic field intensity at the centre of the same coil is: (Take r < a)

Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

  1. Baxis=Bc(1+r2a2)−3/2≈Bc(1−32r2a2)B_{axis} = B_c\left(1+\dfrac{r^2}{a^2}\right)^{-3/2} \approx B_c\left(1-\dfrac{3}{2}\dfrac{r^2}{a^2}\right) for r≪ar \ll a.
  2. Fractional change Bc−BaxisBc=32r2a2\dfrac{B_c - B_{axis}}{B_c} = \dfrac{3}{2}\dfrac{r^2}{a^2}
  3. So the answer is (d).
