Magnetic field due to a current carrying circular ring
Question

A given length of a wire carries a steady current. It is bent first to form a circular plane coil of one turn. If a loop of same length is now bent more sharply to give a double loop of smaller radius, the magnetic field at the centre caused by the same current is :

Moderate
Solution

When the wire is coiled more sharply, the radius is halved. Also the current becomes double because of two turns. Hence the magnetic field becomes 4 times
