Biot-Savart Law & Circular Coils

Two circular coils made from same wire but radius of 11st coil is twice that of 22nd coil. If magnetic field at their centres is same then ratio of potential difference applied across them is (11st to 22nd coil)

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

  1. Equal B=μ0I2rB = \frac{\mu_0 I}{2r} needs I∝rI \propto r.
  2. Same wire: resistance ∝\propto length ∝r\propto r.
  3. V=IR∝r2⇒V1V2=22=4V = IR \propto r^2 \Rightarrow \frac{V_1}{V_2} = 2^2 = 4
  4. So the answer is (c) 4.
