B X and B Y are the magnetic field at the centre of two coils of two coils X and Y respectively, each carrying equal current. If coil X has 200 turns and 20 cm radius and coil Y has 400 turns and 20 cm radius, the ratio of B X and B Y is
Options
- A1 : 1
- B1 : 2
- C2 : 1
- D4 : 1
Correct answer
B. 1 : 2
Step-by-step solution
Magnetic field at the centre of a single coil is B = μ 0 i 2 R If N number of loops are kept closely B = N μ 0 i 2 R Therefore, B x B y = N x N y ⇒ B x B y = 1 2
