A coil of number of turns is wound tightly in the form of a spiral with inner and outer radii a and respectively. When a current of strength is passed through the coil, the magnetic field at its centre is
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
D.
Step-by-step solution
Consider an element of thickness at a distance from the centre of spiral coil.
Number of turns in coil
Number of turns per unit length
Number of turns in element
Number of turns per unit length in element
i.e.,
Magnetic field at its centre due to element is
$=\frac{\mu_0 I n}{2(b-a)} \log _e\left(\frac{b}{a}\right)
