The magnetic field in the centre of a circular coil can be calculated as follows:

B=μ0I2R

 Where B= the strength of the magnetic field, I= current, and R= radius of the circular coil, μ0= permeability.

Question Image

The new magnetic field B' at the centre of a circular coil when its radius doubles will be: 

B'=μ0I2R' now R' = 2R then, 

B'=μ0I2(2R)= 12(μ0I2R) 

B'=B2

The magnetic field and radius of the coil are inversely related. 

Therefore, when the radius is doubled, the magnetic field at the centre will become half.
