  1. A \(2 \sqrt{5}: 8\)
  2. B \(5 \sqrt{5}: 8\)
  3. C \(5 \sqrt{5}: 4\)
  4. D \(2 \sqrt{5}: 4\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(5 \sqrt{5}: 8\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The magnetic field due to a circular coil carrying current at its axis is \[ B_{x}=\frac{\mu_{0}}{4 \pi} \cdot \frac{2 \pi N i r^{2}}{\left(x^{2}+r^{2}\right)^{3 / 2}} \quad \text{...(i)} \] At centre of coil,…
