A long wire carries a steady current. It is bent into a circle of one turn and the magnetic field at the center of the coil isB. It is then bent into a circular loop ofnturns. The magnetic field at the centre of coil will be

Options:

Answer:
B
Solution:

Suppose the length of wire isl

Then, for the circle of n turns

The magnetic field, B= μ 0 In 2R , where R is the radius of the circle

ThenBs=μ0 I2R=B......(i)

Here,2πR=l.......(ii)

Now, if the same wire is turned into a coil of n turns of radius a then,

2πa×n=l.......(iii)

Thus,2πR=2πa×n

     a=Rn

Now, the magnetic field for the coil of n turns, is

Bn=μ0I2a×n

=μ0I2R×n2  a=Rn

=n2B
