COMEDK · Physics · 21. Magnetic Effects of Current
Two circular coils of radius '\(a\)' and '\(2 a\)' are placed coaxially at a distance ' \(x\) and '\(2 x\)' respectively from the origin along the \(\mathrm{X}\)-axis. If their planes are parallel to each other and perpendicular to the \(\mathrm{X}\) - axis and both carry the same current in the same direction, then the ratio of the magnetic field induction at the origin due to the smaller coil to that of the bigger one is:
- A 1 : 4
- B 1 : 2
- C 1 : 1
- D 2 : 1
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) 2 : 1
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The magnetic field \(B\) at a distance \(d\) along the axis of a circular coil of radius \(R\) carrying current \(I\) is given by the formula \(B = \dfrac{\mu_{0} I R^{2}}{2(R^{2} + d^{2})^{3/2}}\). For the smaller coil, the radius is \(R_{1} = a\) and the distance from the…
