Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(6:5\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given \(i_{A}=2, r_{A}=2 cm , \theta_{A}=2 \pi-\frac{\pi}{2}=\frac{3 \pi}{2}\)

\(i_{B}=3, r_{B}=4 cm , \theta_{B}=2 \pi-\frac{\pi}{3}=\frac{5 \pi}{3}\)

\(B=\frac{\mu_{0} I \theta}{4 \pi R}\)

\(\frac{B_{A}}{B_{B}}=\frac{I_{A}}{I_{B}} \times \frac{\theta_{A} R_{B}}{\theta_{B} R_{A}}=\frac{6}{5}\)
