If a single-turn circular coil ( of radius R_1 ) carrying a current...
If a single-turn circular coil ( of radius ) carrying a current is rewound into a coil of turns ( of radius ) using the same total length of wire and carrying the same current , the ratio of the magnetic field at the centre of the new coil to that of the original coil is
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
B.
Step-by-step solution
Let the total length of the wire be .
For the single-turn coil of radius , the length is .
For the -turn coil of radius , the length is .
Equating the lengths, .
The magnetic field at the centre of the original coil is .
The magnetic field at the centre of the new coil is .
Substituting into the expression for :
.
The ratio of the magnetic field at the centre of the new coil to that of the original coil is .
