The electric current in a circular coil of four turns produces a magnetic induction 32T32T at its centre. The coil is unwound and is rewound into a circular coil of single turn, the magnetic induction at the centre of the coil by the same current will be :

Options

  1. A8T8T
  2. B4T4T
  3. C2T2T
  4. D16T16T

Correct answer

C. 2T2T

Step-by-step solution

Magnetic field at the centre of the coil is given by, B=μ0i2RB = \dfrac{{\mu}_{0}i}{2R}.

Now in the first case:

B=4(μ0i2R)B = 4\left(\dfrac{{\mu}_{0}i}{2R}\right)

and for the second case:

B′=μ0i2R′B ' = \dfrac{{\mu}_{0}i}{2R '}.

As the length of the wire will remain same, therefore

2\piR′=4(2\piR)⇒R′=4R2\piR ' = 4\left(2\piR\right) ⇒ R ' = 4R

Hence, required ratio will be

B′B=R4R′=116\dfrac{B '}{B} = \dfrac{R}{4{R}^{'}} = \dfrac{1}{16}

⇒B′=2T⇒ B ' = 2T
