A long conducting wire having a current II flowing through it, is bent into a circular coil of NN turns. Then it is bent into a circular coil of nn turns. The magnetic field is calculated at the centre of coils in both the cases. The ratio of the magnetic field in first case to that of second case is:

Options

  1. AN:nN: n
  2. Bn2:N2{n}^{2}: {N}^{2}
  3. CN2:n2{N}^{2}: {n}^{2}
  4. Dn:Nn: N

Correct answer

C. N2:n2{N}^{2}: {n}^{2}

Step-by-step solution

As in both cases, length of the wire will remain the same, therefore

l=(2\piR)N=(2\pir)n⇒Rr=nNl = \left(2\piR\right)N = \left(2\pir\right)n ⇒ \dfrac{R}{r} = \dfrac{n}{N}

Now magnetic field due to single circular coil is given by, B=(μ0I2r)B = \left(\dfrac{{\mu}_{0}I}{2r}\right).

Therefore, required ratio of total magnetic field wil be,

B1B2=N(μ0I2R)n(μ0I2r)=(N2n2)\dfrac{{B}_{1}}{{B}_{2}} = \dfrac{N\left(\dfrac{{\mu}_{0}I}{2R}\right)}{n\left(\dfrac{{\mu}_{0}I}{2r}\right)} = \left(\dfrac{{N}^{2}}{{n}^{2}}\right)
