The magnetic field B at the centre of a circular coil of radius r is π times that due to a long straight wire at a distance r from it, for equal currents. The diagram shows three cases: in all cases the circular part has radius r and straight ones are infinitely long. For the same current, the field B at centre P in cases 1,2,3 has the ratio :
