The magnitude of the magnetic induction (B) at a point on the axis at a large distance 'r' from the centre of a circular coil of 'n' turns and area 'A' carrying current ' i ' is given by x×10−7x \times 10^{-7} SI unit. The value of x is (μ0=4π×10−7(\mu_0 = 4\pi \times 10^{-7} SI unit))

Options

  1. AniAr3\dfrac{niA}{r^3}
  2. B2niAr3\dfrac{2niA}{r^3}
  3. C2niAr3\dfrac{2ni}{Ar^3}
  4. DnAir3\dfrac{nA}{ir^3}

Correct answer

B. 2niAr3\dfrac{2niA}{r^3}

Step-by-step solution

The magnetic field on the axis of a circular coil of radius RR at a distance rr from its centre is given by:

B=μ0niR22(R2+r2)3/2B = \dfrac{\mu_0 n i R^2}{2(R^2 + r^2)^{3/2}}

For a large distance r≫Rr \gg R, the expression simplifies to:

B=μ0niR22r3B = \dfrac{\mu_0 n i R^2}{2r^3}

Multiplying the numerator and denominator by π\pi, we get:

B=μ0ni(πR2)2πr3B = \dfrac{\mu_0 n i (\pi R^2)}{2\pi r^3}

Since the area of the coil is A=πR2A = \pi R^2, we can write:

B=μ0niA2πr3B = \dfrac{\mu_0 n i A}{2\pi r^3}

Substituting μ0=4π×10−7\mu_0 = 4\pi \times 10^{-7} SI units:

B=4π×10−7×niA2πr3=2niAr3×10−7B = \dfrac{4\pi \times 10^{-7} \times n i A}{2\pi r^3} = \dfrac{2 n i A}{r^3} \times 10^{-7}

Comparing this with B=x×10−7B = x \times 10^{-7}, we find:

x=2niAr3x = \dfrac{2 n i A}{r^3}

Answer: 2niAr3\dfrac{2niA}{r^3}
