Two circular coaxial coils of same radius and same number of turns having opposite current in the magnitude ratio 4 : 1 are placed at some separation apart. At how many points on the common axis magnetic field will be zero (exclude infinity)? Take separation as where R is radius of coils.

Answer:
2.00
Solution:

Field on the axis of each coil:

The two coils carry opposite currents in ratio at separation .

Superposing the two opposite field profiles on the common axis, the net field crosses zero at 2 points (excluding infinity).
