A long wire is bent into a circular coil of one turn and then into a circular coil of smaller radius having n turns. If the same current passes in both the cases, then the ratio of the magnetic fields produced at the centers in two cases will be :

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \( 1 : n^2 \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( 2 \pi R_1 = n (2 \pi R_2) \Rightarrow R_2 = R_1/n \) \( B_1 = \frac{\mu_0 I}{2 R_1} \) \( B_2 = \frac{n \mu_0 I}{2 R_2} = \frac{n \mu_0 I}{2 (R_1/n)} = \frac{n^2 \mu_0 I}{2 R_1} \) \( B_1 : B_2 = \frac{\mu_0 I}{2 R_1} : \frac{n^2 \mu_0 I}{2 R_1} = 1 : n^2 \)
