JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 4. Moving charges and magnetism

Consider two thin identical conducting wires covered with very thin insulating material. One of the wires is bent into a loop and produces magnetic field \(B_1,\) at its centre when a current \(I\) passes through it.The second wire is bent into a coil with  three identical loops adjacent to each other and produces magnetic field \(B_2\) at the centre of the loops when current \(I/3\) passes through it. The ratio \(B_1 : B_2\) is

  1. A \(1:1\)
  2. B \(1:3\)
  3. C \(1:9\)
  4. D \(9:1\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(1:3\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For loop \(\mathrm{B}=\frac{\mu_{0} \mathrm{nI}}{2 \mathrm{a}}\) where, \(a\) is the radius of loop. Then, \(B_{1}=\frac{\mu_{0} I}{2 a}\) Now, for coil \(\mathrm{B}=\frac{\mu_{0} \mathrm{I}}{4 \pi} \cdot \frac{2 \mathrm{nA}}{\mathrm{x}^{3}}\) at the centre \(x=\) radius of loop…
