COMEDK · Physics · 21. Magnetic Effects of Current

The magnetic field at the centre of a circular current carrying conductor of radius \(r\) is \(B_{c}\). The magnetic field on its axis at a distance \(r\) from the centre is \(B_{a}\). The value of \(B_{c}: B_{a}\) will be

  1. A \(1: \sqrt{2}\)
  2. B \(1: 2 \sqrt{2}\)
  3. C \(2 \sqrt{2}: 1\)
  4. D \(\sqrt{2}: 1\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(2 \sqrt{2}: 1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Magnetic field at the centre of circular carrying conductor, \[ B_{c}=\frac{\mu_{0} I}{2 r} \] Magnetic on the axis at a distance \(x\) from the centre is given as \[ B_{\text {axis }}=\frac{\mu_{0} I r^{2}}{2\left(r^{2}+x^{2}\right)^{3 / 2}} \] Here, \(x=r\)…
