Two wires of same material A and B, having lengths l and (2l)/(3)...
Two wires of same material A and B, having lengths and carry the currents and respectively. Both the wires (A and B) are bent into a circles (of single turn). If and are the values of magnetic field at the centres of the respective circles, then the ratio is
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
C.
Step-by-step solution
The magnetic field at the centre of a circular loop of radius carrying current is given by:
Since the wire of length is bent into a single turn circular loop, the circumference is equal to the length of the wire:
Substituting the value of in the expression for :
For wire A:
and
For wire B:
and
Taking the ratio of the magnetic fields:
