 The magnetic strength (dB) at location A due to current I flowing through a tiny element dl is directly proportional to the current, according to Biot Savart Law (I).

Question Image

The magnetic field at the circular coil's center is given by;

B=μ0I2R ; Where B= strength of the magnetic field, I= current, R= radius or distance.

So, the magnetic field is inversely proportional to the radius of the coil, Bα1R

When the radius of the coil is reduced by half, the magnetic field increases by two times.

As a result, option A is right.
