KCET · Physics · Magnetic Effects of Current
The ratio of magnetic field at the centre of a current carrying circular coil to its magnetic moment is \(x\), if the current and the radius both are doubled. The new ratio will become
- A \(2 x\)
- B \(4 x\)
- C \(\frac{x}{4}\)
- D \(\frac{x}{8}\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) \(\frac{x}{8}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Magnetic field at the centre of current carrying circular coil
\(B=\frac{\mu_{0} I}{2 r}\)
where, \(I=\) current and \(r=\) radius.
Magnetic dipole moment,
\(m=I A=I \cdot \pi r^{2} \)
\( \text {Given, } \frac{B}{m}=x \)
\( \Rightarrow \frac{\mu_{0} I}{2 r} \)
\( \Rightarrow \frac{\mu_{0}}{\pi I r^{2}}=x ...(i)\)
When current and radius, both are doubled, then
\(\begin{aligned} \frac{B^{\prime}}{m^{\prime}} &=\frac{\frac{\mu_{0} 2 I}{2 \cdot 2 r}}{\pi(2 I)(2 r)^{2}} \\ &=\frac{\frac{\mu_{0} I}{2 r}}{8 \pi r^{2} I}=\frac{\mu_{0}}{16 \pi r^{3}} \\ &=\frac{1}{8} \cdot \frac{\mu_{0}}{2 \pi r^{3}}=\frac{x}{8} \text { [from Eq. (i)] } \end{aligned}\)
