Questions  

A long wire carrying a steady current is bent into a circular loop of one turn. The magnetic field at the centre of the loop is B. It is then bent into a circular coil of n turns. The magnetic field at the centre of this coil of n turns will be

a
nB
b
n2B
c
2nB
d
2n2B

detailed solution

Correct option is B

Let l be the length of the wire. Magnetic field at the centre of the loop isB=μ0I2R∴B=μ0πIl  (∵l=2πR)……….(1) B'=μ0nI2r=μ0nI2l2nπB'=μ0n2πIlFrom eqns. (i) and (ii), we get B'=n2B
