Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(1: 1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{B}_1 2 \pi \frac{\mathrm{a}}{2}=\mu_0 \frac{\mathrm{I}}{4}\)

\(\mathrm{~B}_1=\frac{\mu_0 \mathrm{I}}{4 \pi \mathrm{a}}\)

\(\mathrm{B}_2 2 \pi 2 \mathrm{a}=\mu_0 \mathrm{I}\)

\(\mathrm{B}_2=\frac{\mu_{\mathrm{v}} \mathrm{I}}{4 \pi \mathrm{a}}\)
